2015 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

2015 BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	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

2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
2009	4dr Sedan 228-horsepower 3.0L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	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

2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
2009	4dr Sedan supercharged 181hp 1.8L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	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
