Mazda makes a big deal about the levers that allow you to drop the rear seats from the cargo area. However, with the driver's seat set for my 6' fit the rear headrest hits high on the back of the seat and stops at a 45 degree angle. You then have to go back to the driver's seat, power it forward, fully lower the rear seat, then reposition the front seats. This seems to completely illogical. Is there a trick I'm missing that makes these seats work?
This problem seems to be unique to the US version since it come with ridiculously huge head rests. The EU versions have nice small headrests that allow the seatbacks to drop.
I'm not a CX-5 owner (yet) but I went to the autoshow last night to check out the CX-5 and it's competitors. Mazda only had one CX-5 on display and it was a 2013. So, I don't know if this problem has been fixed in newer version. I did notice that this headrest issue is pretty common in the smaller SUVs, and even the Acura MDX.
