| 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 |

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 |

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Jaguar XJ
| 2012 Jaguar XJ Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2013 | This sporty, tailored theme continues with the shape of the 20-way-adjustable front seats. The A8's seats have even more adjustments, yet no matter how much you fiddle with them aren't nearly as form-fitting or as cosseting. The XJ's more precisely shaped, cushy (yet not at all mushy) buckets seem much more tailored to the human form. The space between their modestly sized but firm bolsters can be adjusted to provide more lateral support when this is called for. The only noteworthy shortcoming of the XJ's front seats: though the headrests can be manually adjusted fore-and-aft, even in their most rearward position these press a bit much against the back of my head. Your physique and experience may vary. The rear seats are similarly form-fitting, but without a center console to rob space. see full Jaguar XJ review | |

| As mentioned when discussing the driving position, the XJ's front seat doesn't feel nearly as roomy as those in the Audi and BMW. But it also feels sportier. What's your priority? see full Jaguar XJ review | ||
