2015 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
