Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	2dr Hardtop conv. 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	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 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	low roof line, long doors make entryb and exit difficult see full BMW Z4 review

2012 Volvo S60 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The driver's seat and driver's position are outstanding, the best I've ever experienced and I've driven Lexuses and Infinitis. Passenger's seat is also very comfortable.rnrnCaution: Back seat and trunk are small. Also, no spare. You get an inflation kit. You can pay $250 for a donut spare. see full Volvo S60 review
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Volvo has a reputation for quality seating - I am very pleased with the comfort and support. I had a recent trip of about 14 hours, and the seats provided the best comfort I've had compared to all other cars I've owned and have drove in long distance trips. see full Volvo S60 review
2012	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Very comfortable driving position. Visibility is outstanding in all quarters. I've taken this car on frequent road trips (>300 miles) and I've been very comfortable throughout the trip. see full Volvo S60 review

2012 Volvo S60 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Very tight in back. see full Volvo S60 review
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Rear seat space is smaller than 3-series BMW. It's fine for children/young adults, but full size people will find it a little tight. Volvo should have added about six inches to the length and a few inches in width. see full Volvo S60 review
