What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 BMW Z4
| 2006 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 |
| 2005 | 2dr Convertible 184-horsepower 2.5L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
enough leg room for a six-footer (unlike the Miata we almost bought) see full BMW Z4 review |

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 |

minimal leg rom when front seat is back see full Saturn ION review |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Seat bottoms are too short. Not enough leg room when the front seats are set back and not enough foot room. There is a metallic bar on the bottom of the front seats that take too much space in the foot wells for the back passengers. see full Saturn ION review |

no room in the back for tall people see full Saturn ION review |
