| 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 | |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed automatic FWD |
Not enough rear seat legroom for a car in this class. see full Volvo S60 review |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Minimal rear seat leg room. Our kids are 9 & 8 - we are having to look for a replacement car as they are getting too big for this one. To offset the front seats are as comfortable as I have experienced in a car. Now considering an S80 or XC70. see full Volvo S60 review |
