2014 BMW 3-Series Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	The BMW 3-Series used to be tight inside, but it has grown with each redesign, especially the most recent one. The rear seat of the current sedan isn't nearly as roomy as that in the related 3-Series Gran Turismo hatchback. But it offers considerably more rear legroom than direct competitors like the Audi A4, Cadillac ATS, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. In fact, combined front and rear legroom is the same as in the one size-class up, ten-inch-longer Mercedes E-Class. (You do get a half-inch more rear headroom and nearly two inches more rear shoulder room in the Benz.) Beyond the specs, the BMW's rear seat is comfortably high off the floor, a rarity in the age of sedans with plunging coupe-like roof lines. see full BMW 3-Series review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	I love the roominess of the rear seats. Most of my family are moderately large (6ft 220lbs). Two can fit in the back comfortably. see full Infiniti G review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	2dr Coupe 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Way to small to be of use with anything but children. see full Infiniti G review
2009	2dr Coupe 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Tight on head room but to be expected for two door. see full Infiniti G review
2009	2dr Coupe 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD	The bolstering is excessive in the lowest setting and the seat belt pulls too hard on my chest. The seat belt also digs into my neck. see full Infiniti G review
2008	2dr Coupe 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	there is hardly any back see room but it is a sport coupe see full Infiniti G review
