I'm 6-1 and 185 and have no issues with the seats. Just a matter of finding the right settings for the drive.. My only issue is the seat bottom could be a little longer or include a 1-2 inch pull out extension like my X3. Other than that, I'm going to guess I'm in the vast majority as far as the seats go and doubt Mazda is going to make any substantial changes because of a few complaints. I've owned many cars over the years and have never know a car seat to be comfortable for 100% of buyers.

Unless there is a defect or workability issues. Fitment is all on you when you decided to buy any vehicle. But you can express your thoughts and feeling about it on a forum!

i wish there was a way to upgrade the rear Mazda seats. Even in my cx9, they're rough.

For $50k car, Mazda should be ashamed as it doesn't even come close to our previous Toyota Highlander, for seating comfort. I'm glad it's gone and much happier with our new purchase of a Hyundai Palisade.

Owned over 35 cars, mostly VWs and BMWs in recent years. I'll take the CX9 over the Palisade any day. To each their own I guess. Just curious if you test drove the CX-90 before making your decision?

Interesting you have had the car for many months and just decided now to join this forum to diss the CX9? Good luck on the Palisade forums.
