2014 BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2014 | Like all BMWs midsize and larger, the 6-Series Gran Coupe can be equipped with the make's multi-contour seats. Thanks to abundant padding and a large number of adjustments, these are about as comfortable and as supportive as seats get. The Audi A7's seats, firmer, flatter, and with far fewer adjustments, aren't as luxurious or nearly as supportive in hard turns. (I did drive the car for over nine hours one day without even a hint of soreness, though.) see full BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe review |

Even with the 4.5-inch wheelbase stretch, the 6-Series Gran Coupe has a tight, low-mounted rear seat with a virtually useless center position, as the center console extends all the way to the seat. At 5-9, I can sit behind myself with an inch or so above my head and a couple ahead of my up-angled knees. The cushion is well-shaped, but under-sized. The A7 has a much roomier, more comfortable rear seat. It's the one to buy if you want adult-sized people to use that second pair of doors. (Why you'd want these doors if you're not going to use them? I don't know--ask the person who owns one.) see full BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe review |

comfort is fine, but not for large adults. All the kids are gone now so no problem for me. see full Chevrolet Camaro review |

Not to complain about a great car, but a muscle car like the Camaro is really bought as a 2 seater, but for short trips, can accomodate 4. see full Chevrolet Camaro review |
