2013 BMW 1-Series Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2013 | You simply can't find a much better driver seat for a combination of long-distance comfort and support during aggressive cornering than the one in the BMW 135is. The seat feels firm and substantial, but with enough padding that church pew metaphors will remain far from your mind. The side bolsters are power-adjustable, so they can be snug when you want them to be snug, but not otherwise. Neither of the other cars has adjustable bolsters, and the Z's are too widely spaced for my average build. The BMW's seats also felt the most comfortable to me. see full BMW 1-Series review |

2008 Chevrolet Equinox Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2008 | 4dr SUV 264-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The rear seat can slide forward and back 8" providing generous leg room for rear passengers. see full Chevrolet Equinox review |
2008 | 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
The bucket seats are at a perfect height for easy entry and exit. Also there is a liftable arm rest between the seats for storing purse, etc. which eliminates the need for reaching to the back when the passenger seat is occupied. see full Chevrolet Equinox review |

The rear bench seat can slide forward or back. When slid back, there is ample leg room for even the tallest of passengers. see full Chevrolet Equinox review |
