My wife and I agree with you, but I doubt you will see any change or find it better in other cars. Thank the US Govt! See this Forbes article. http://www.forbes.com/sites/jimgorzelany/2011/10/12/headrests-at- the-top-of-car-seat-problems/

I bought a 2018 Mazda 3 on Tuesday, May 1st. I am in so much pain, I can hardly stand to drive my new car. Today is the 11th of May.

I have the same problem with my wife’s 2014 Mazda 6. The headrest is tilted too far forward. I’ve tried adding a after market pad to fill in gap between the headrest and the top of the seat with minor comfort. I avoid driving in this car. Sad, will be selling As soon as possible

I have exactly the same problem with my Mazda 6. I solved it by bending the poles of the headrests. Here is how it was done: https://www.instructables.com/id/Adjusting-the-Tilt-of-Car-Headrests/
