2015 Audi A6 / S6 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2016	The second benefit of the Audi A6's more open and expansive interior: it feels roomier, especially in the front seats. With no "race car" or "jet fighter" pretensions, the Audi is easier and more relaxing to drive. The BMW, Cadillac, and Mercedes interiors all feel tighter and more confining. see full Audi A6 / S6 review

2015 Audi A6 / S6 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Want a second reason that the Audi A6 might not be your best bet? Perhaps its front seats, as these despite a four-way lumbar adjustment (driver only unless you get the 3.0T Prestige) are just okay. Though likely what a German orthopedist recommended--I've sat in these seats for ten hours without any soreness--I'd personally prefer seats that are less firm and more form-fitting. This said, forms differ, and the Audi's might fit yours better than mine. The rear seat is roomy but, like most, is mounted too close to the floor to provide adults with sufficient under-thigh support. With that, I'm pretty much out of why-nots (though I'll touch on a potential one below). A very good all-around car, the Audi A6 has no glaring faults. see full Audi A6 / S6 review

2011 Infiniti M Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Sedan 420-horsepower 5.6L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Very comfortable up front. see full Infiniti M review
2011	4dr Sedan 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The footwells are very narrow for a car of this size. This is a side-effect of it being RWD. The "dead" pedal seems to be in the wrong spot, at least for me; it's too far to the right. On the plus side the air conditioned seats are great. It is possible to drive around in 90 degree weather wearing shorts, with the windows down, and feel comfortable. see full Infiniti M review
2011	4dr Sedan 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Very envelopped and comfortable seat, have better padding, and seating posture is better than most of the luxry cars I tried. see full Infiniti M review

2011 Infiniti M Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Sedan 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The fronts seats need more bolstering. The BMW 5 series has much, much better seats. If I could change one thing about the car, it would be the seats. Anyone considering this car should sit in the seat at least 30 minutes before making a purchase decision. see full Infiniti M review
