2014 BMW 2-Series Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2014 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 320hp 3.0L I6 8-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The driving position feels natural. Buttons and dials are easily accessible, and everything's adjustable if you need to. After a few-hour drive down highway 1, I noticed that my back didn't hurt like it does on most other cars. The seats aren't that soft to the touch, and are quite supportive in cornering, but they are very well-sculpted. Who knew a congenital back defect could be so useful in car evaluation? see full BMW 2-Series review |

Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Very comfortable even with rear facing car seat behind either driver or passenger seat. Head room was good even with moon roof. see full Saab 9-5 review |
2007 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
These are the best seats ever designed. Really. see full Saab 9-5 review |
2007 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Extremely comfortable and supportive. air-cooled seat option is great in the summer. Front seat ergonomics and comfort blow away those of bmw, infiniti and acura, although leather quality is not as good. see full Saab 9-5 review |
