What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2007 BMW Z4

2007 BMW Z4 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	2dr Hatch 330-horsepower 3.2L I6 6-speed manual RWD	Adjustable thigh bolster and seat back bolsters offer great support and the Nappa leather is grippy to prevent sliding around. see full BMW Z4 review
2006	2dr Convertible 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD	I find the front seat, even heated, to have great lumbar support, my sciatica does not bother me even when I have to use the clutch. Those with long legs are amazed at all the leg room available. see full BMW Z4 review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	2dr Convertible 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	low roof line, long doors make entryb and exit difficult see full BMW Z4 review
2007	2dr Hatch 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD	There is no rear seat. see full BMW Z4 review
2007	2dr Hatch 330-horsepower 3.2L I6 6-speed manual RWD	I would not recommend the car for EXTREMELY long road trips or the like. Comfort wise, if you used to something that is very plush or soft the car will feel too hard on badly paved roads. see full BMW Z4 review

2008	4dr Sedan 420-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed manual AWD	Rear seats seem very cramped for leg room. I've never used them, but have only ever dared to take adults on short trips in the back. Heated seats are available for the rear passengers. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2008	4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed manual AWD	Depending on how tall your front passengers are, your rear passengers may not have any room to sit. Can fit 4 average sized adults, but it will be tight. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2008	4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Seats hard and unforgiving,had a sore back in first hour. Saab seats always been superb. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2008	4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The rear seat is adequate, but not large. Child seat fits fine, but my son can kick the back of the front seat. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2008	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The rear seat is too small for adults on long trips (over an hour). And the rear seat can only hold 2 people even for short trips. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
