What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2009 Infiniti G

2009 Infiniti G Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 328-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Spacious and comfortable seats see full Infiniti G review
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

2009 Infiniti G Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 328-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Smaller than the Maxima. Third person would be uncomfortable, less knee room. The plastic trough behind the front seat is too low. see full Infiniti G review
2010	2dr Hardtop conv. 325-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The rear seat is basically a storage area. No one can sit back there! But its really no different than the rear of any convertible. (like my Mercedes Benz CLK350) see full Infiniti G review
2010	4dr Sedan 328-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Seats in back are cramped. Once the kids hit teenage years they are not going to be happy back there for long rides. see full Infiniti G review
2010	4dr Sedan 328-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Seems smaller than the G35, no rear reclining seats anymore and the headrests stick up a bit more than the old car. 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
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
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
2008	4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Very tight see full Infiniti G review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD	More padding, slightly larger than e46 sport seats, fully adjustable side bolsters and the Dakota leather seems thicker and softer than the e-46 leather. see full BMW 3-Series review
2007	4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	back support see full BMW 3-Series review
2006	4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD	Heated, 8-way, with lumbar control: seems to have comfort covered for most drivers (wheel does not telescope). see full BMW 3-Series review
2005	2dr Coupe 333-horsepower 3.2L I6 6-speed manual RWD	My M3 is the only sports car I found that will comfortably fit a baby seat in the rear. :) see full BMW 3-Series review

2007	2dr Coupe 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	I have the coupe, the back seats are just an afterthought. see full BMW 3-Series review
2007	4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Too small & cramped. Fit and finish was much less desirable than my past 1998 5 series BMW. see full BMW 3-Series review
2006	4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD	Small. see full BMW 3-Series review
2006	4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Entering and exiting and overall seat comfort are not designed for taller or larger drivers see full BMW 3-Series review
2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	A little tight for taller adults. see full BMW 3-Series review
2006	4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The rear seats are comfortable, but due to the size of/shortness of the car there is not much legroom, a full size adult will have trouble getting their feet into the footwells. Mind you, the trunk space is immense for such a small car. see full BMW 3-Series review
2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD	There is little foot room and the ride is rough. see full BMW 3-Series review
