2014 BMW 3-Series Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	The BMW 3-Series used to be tight inside, but it has grown with each redesign, especially the most recent one. The rear seat of the current sedan isn't nearly as roomy as that in the related 3-Series Gran Turismo hatchback. But it offers considerably more rear legroom than direct competitors like the Audi A4, Cadillac ATS, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. In fact, combined front and rear legroom is the same as in the one size-class up, ten-inch-longer Mercedes E-Class. (You do get a half-inch more rear headroom and nearly two inches more rear shoulder room in the Benz.) Beyond the specs, the BMW's rear seat is comfortably high off the floor, a rarity in the age of sedans with plunging coupe-like roof lines. see full BMW 3-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
