2011 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
They are the comfortable front seats I have ever experienced. I can sit in them for several hours without discomfort, which is not usually the case in other cars. see full Volvo V70 review |

Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2016 | 4dr Sedan 143-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Why doesn't this vehicle have heated front seats (they only cost a tenner or so at manufacturing time) and why doesn't it have electric front seats with memory (it is particularly annoying to have to try and reset the seat after the garage has had the car and adjusted it to their liking)! Again electric front seats don;t really cost anything much to build in. see full Mazda Mazda6 review |
