2013 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 |

2013 Ford C-MAX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
There's plenty of space for adults in the back seat of the C-MAX. But the seat is mounted too low to provide thigh support, and between this and the angle of the floor I could find no comfortable way to position my legs and feet. There's a huge amount of headroom, so this was not the limiting factor. Instead, the seat seems to be so low to enable a flat floor when it is folded without requiring that the seat bottom be folded separately from the seat back. Combine the low seat with a high beltline (bottom of the side windows), and children can't see out well. see full Ford C-MAX review |
