Mazda headrests tilt too far forward. We were ready to buy a Mazda5 but when my wife got behind the wheel in the test drive the headrest pushed her head forward; cannot adjust tilt. She got a headache after the test drive. This is not safe. Should support from bottom of head and around back of head -- instead it pushed forward from top of head! worst headrest I have ever seen -- no real support for head. Customers will (and do) turn these around, providing no support and little protection.
