I'm 5' 9" and the front seat room semed cavernous to me. I once had a 6' 5" passenger in the front seat who voiced no complaint. 10. see full BMW 5-Series review

My car did not have either the sports seats nor the comfort seats, both of which I tried and found superior; significantly so. The 'base' seats in my car were not the best seats I've ever had in a car although in fairness, they did not punish my lower back as once did the seats in my Infiniti G35x. They were adequate; more an ally than a foe. They also lacked meaningful thigh or side bolsters and so were clearly the choice of Buick-minded buyers, and so did not invite spirited driving. I score thm a 6. see full BMW 5-Series review

The seats are much improved over older explorers. You can ride for 4 hours and not feel tired when you get out of the truck. I have heated leather, which I recommend. The heat is in the lumbar, as well as seat bottom. Very nice seats. see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review

5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
So bad I can't drive it much more than the 4 miles to and from work. The front seats are so hard that the first couple times I drove it I couldn't figure out why my feet were so cold. Because the circulation below my knees was being cutoff. I have tried extra cushions for the seat bottom and I have found something that really helps, but on longer drives, combined with the firm ride - bring your Advil. see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review
