2012 BMW 3-Series Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2012 Another surprising strength for the new BMW 3-Series. There's more room in back than in competing cars, and the seat is comfortably positioned and shaped. see full BMW 3-Series review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Scion FR-S

2013 Scion FR-S Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
2013 Unlike a Mazda Miata or Nissan 370Z, the FR-S has a rear seat. But even a driver of middling height will position the front seat just inches away from the rear seat, leaving too little room for a rear passenger's legs. It would help if there was enough space beneath the front seats for the rear passengers' feet, but there isn't. To even carry children in the back, occupants of the front seats must slide forward. The back seat will serve in a pinch, but the FR-S isn't viable for frequent use by four people. The late, lamented Mazda RX-8 was capable of carrying four adults thanks more intelligent packaging. see full Scion FR-S review

2013 Scion FR-S Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 2dr Coupe 200-horsepower 2.0L H4
6-speed manual RWD		 Although form-fitting, the seats are incredibly comfortable, even for the big and tall crowd. The car fits like a bespoke suit. The back seat is suitable only for toddlers. see full Scion FR-S review
2013 Scion FR-S Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 2dr Coupe 200-horsepower 2.0L H4
6-speed manual RWD		 Again, if your metric includes back seats, forget it. These are only here for insurance purposes. Seriously. see full Scion FR-S review
2013 2dr Coupe 200-horsepower 2.0L H4
6-speed manual RWD		 If you are a larger person walk right by it, i'm only slightly above average (5-11, 190) and just wearing a coat can make for a tight fit. But if you do fit you can drive it for hours no problem. see full Scion FR-S review
