2004 4dr Sedan 184-horsepower 2.5L I6

The layout does not leave room for storage. Seats are not as comfy as Volvo. see full BMW 5-Series review
2002 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 4.4L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD
This is technically not front seat comfort, but the heated front seat leaves something to be desired. At the lowest setting it actually gets uncomfortably hot below my left thigh, while the rest of the seat and back stay perfectly fine. This may be age related (the car not me) but again ... I've had other cars with heated seats and never noticed this issue. see full BMW 5-Series review
2002 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6

The rear seat is comfortable for two, but three is a squeeze. see full BMW 5-Series review

2010 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD
This car has a very small back seat. If you want to carry passengers for a long distance, get an E class. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review
2009 4dr Sedan 228-horsepower 3.0L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD
The seat causes no discomfort to my tailbone like many ohter cars. Furthermore, the padding is firm and feels like it will last a long time. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review

Mercedes-Benz makes the best seats in the business, period. Even after a 10 hour drive, my back did not hurt. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review

2009 4dr Sedan supercharged 181hp 1.8L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD
Not much leg room when compared to other luxury entries. No flat floor so a 3rd passenger in the rear is not possible. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review

Center console and stack cut into front side leg room, my left leg is always up against the center console. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review
