My 11 year old daughter has never had any problems with finding a comfortable position for her feet, but at her age she doesn't need very much foot room. I've also had other adult friends relatives sit in back and they've never complained. However, since I didn't want to spend a huge amount of money on all weather mats and still wanted to keep my carpet relatively clean, I went to the local auto parts store and bought one of those wide rubber mats intended for a truck. Then I cut it to fit in the second row foot space. Even though it covers up the seat tracks, it is flexible enough that it doesn't keep the seat from moving forward when I need to let someone into the third row seats, and it keeps stuff from getting down inside the tracks. Hope this helps!

hjkass,
I love my all-weather mats.
You don't have to buy them from dealers. Try here
www.mazdaparts.org
That said, I think CX9 has the best seat rail system. It is virtually flat once the all-weather mats are installed. If you compare that to the Highlander's rails, which might even trip people trying to get into 3rd row.
Besides, rubber mats help to insulate noises coming thru the floorpan (road/tire noises).
It makes the cabin even quieter, I feel. No data to support that, yet.

I'm with you on this. I love the CX-9, but when I sat in the back, it just seemed odd looking at those long seat tracks where my feet go. Wonder about stuff getting in them, comfort, etc...I love the way the second row comes forward, guess I'll just have to get used to the tracks if I purchase. Loved test drivig the car, then when I got in the back seat and looked down, it just seemed a bit 'cheap' to see the seat tracks...oh well...

btw... mazdaparts.org is a dealer... they just offer 15% discount for the parts... push come to shove... ask your dealer to match.. ( I have before ... matched that is ). Yet back to the subject... 6 '2 I've enjoyed the second row pretty well.. the "looks" of the rails isn't so hot...but... that's not where I'm usually looking anyways.
