YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual AWD
Great when I can take my husband and teenagers up to the mountains for a ski trip without any major complaints. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2007 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Excellent for cruising but lateral support is sorely lacking for cornering. Needs power & memory for the tilt/telescope steering wheel. Good view out of and around vehicle. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review

2008 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4

The rear seat is adequate, but not large. Child seat fits fine, but my son can kick the back of the front seat. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2008 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 4.2L V8
6-speed manual AWD
Depending on how tall your front passengers are, your rear passengers may not have any room to sit. Can fit 4 average sized adults, but it will be tight. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2008 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Seats hard and unforgiving,had a sore back in first hour. Saab seats always been superb. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2008 4dr Sedan 420-horsepower 4.2L V8
6-speed manual AWD
Rear seats seem very cramped for leg room. I've never used them, but have only ever dared to take adults on short trips in the back. Heated seats are available for the rear passengers. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2008 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
The rear seat is too small for adults on long trips (over an hour). And the rear seat can only hold 2 people even for short trips. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2007 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Limited leg room, especially during ingress and egress. Hump bisects leg room. Seat cushion needs to be 1-2 inches higher. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review

small rear seat like the 3 series see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review

2007 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4

2007 2dr Convertible turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Center console protrudes into the leg area while gas pedal is far over to the right. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 BMW Z4

2006 BMW Z4 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 2dr Hatch 330-horsepower 3.2L I6
6-speed manual RWD
Adjustable thigh bolster and seat back bolsters offer great support and the Nappa leather is grippy to prevent sliding around. see full BMW Z4 review
2006 2dr Convertible 215-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD
I find the front seat, even heated, to have great lumbar support, my sciatica does not bother me even when I have to use the clutch. Those with long legs are amazed at all the leg room available. see full BMW Z4 review
2005 2dr Convertible 184-horsepower 2.5L I6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD
enough leg room for a six-footer (unlike the Miata we almost bought) see full BMW Z4 review

low roof line, long doors make entryb and exit difficult see full BMW Z4 review

There is no rear seat. see full BMW Z4 review
2007 2dr Hatch 330-horsepower 3.2L I6
6-speed manual RWD
I would not recommend the car for EXTREMELY long road trips or the like. Comfort wise, if you used to something that is very plush or soft the car will feel too hard on badly paved roads. see full BMW Z4 review
