2018 Audi TT Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	I really liked the seats in the Audi TT I reviewed a couple of years ago. Somehow I liked those in the TT RS less, even though they appear to be the same seats, just with additional adjustments. This time around the bolsters didn't provide much lateral support to my lower torso, yet felt too close together higher up even when adjusted all of the way out. I don't think I've grown significantly wider. Adding adjustable bolsters to the seats might have made them fit me worse than the fixed bolsters of the earlier seat. Your experience might vary. The tested Porsche 718 Cayman S was fitted with the base seats. As such they had few adjustments and provided only a modest amount of lateral support, but were reasonably comfortable. Three optional seats have larger side bolsters, more adjustments, or both. The BMW M2's front seats, with adjustable bolsters, deliver very good if not outstanding support and comfort. And back seats? Adults of average height can squeeze into the BMW's in a pinch. Folks under five-foot-six might do the same in the Audi's if those up front don't have their seats all the way back. The Porsche has no rear seats. see full Audi TT 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
