2008 BMW Z4 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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

no back seats 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
2007 2dr Hatch 255-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD
There is no rear seat. see full BMW Z4 review
2007 2dr Convertible 215-horsepower 3.0L I6

YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5
6-speed manual FWD
The front seats are wonderful. I tend to get stiff and sore when I sit too long in a car, especially my old VW GTI and our other VW Passat wagon. These seats in the C30 are very comfortable and I felt good getting out after a long drive. see full Volvo C30 review
2011 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Excellent support for very long drives. Passengers in the rear say the same. see full Volvo C30 review
