2009 BMW 1-Series Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	2dr Convertible 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Either young children for longer drives or most adults for trips below 30-40 miles each way. Just a "small car" (though with more rear-room that Lexus 250-350 4-door series!). see full BMW 1-Series review
2008	2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD	Impractical for adults for anything but short runs see full BMW 1-Series review

2008 Cadillac SRX Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV 255-horsepower 3.6L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	2 teenage kids love it see full Cadillac SRX review
2007	4dr SUV 320-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The car is very comfortable to ride in. My SRX has all the bells and whistles with electric seat controls. I often adjust the lumbar support to my needs depending on how bad my back is hurting that day. Heated seats also make for a very warm tush on a cold day. see full Cadillac SRX review

2008 Cadillac SRX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV 255-horsepower 3.6L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Seat belts attached to front seats and not adjustable up and down. Lower sitting heighth than Lexus or other crossover SUVs or at least the appearance of same. see full Cadillac SRX review
2008	4dr SUV 255-horsepower 3.6L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The center console is too wide and gets in the way see full Cadillac SRX review
2007	4dr SUV 255-horsepower 3.6L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Much smaller compare to the R-class. The third row is a joke. see full Cadillac SRX review
2007	4dr SUV 320-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	For how big the SRX looks, it's passenger space is somewhat craped. It's not terrible by any means, but it's not very roomy either. see full Cadillac SRX review
