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

2014 Maserati Ghibli Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	With a 118-inch wheelbase and 57.5-inch height, the Ghibli is certainly large enough to contain a roomy rear seat. Alas, there's less space back there than in a typical compact. At 5-9 I could sit behind myself, but with just a couple inches between my knees and the front seatback and my shins grazing the bottom edge of the same. The new Quattroporte has so much more rear legroom that there's enough space between them for another model. The BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe provides a bit more rear seat knee room, but despite said seat's lower, smaller, decidedly coupe-like cushion your head will be much closer to its synthetic suede headliner. That lower roof line comes at a cost. There's considerably more space in the back seat of the Audi than in either of the other two. see full Maserati Ghibli review
