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

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

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Volvo V50

2011 Volvo V50 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr Sedan turbocharged 113hp 1.6L I4 Diesel
6-speed manual FWD
Rear seat is slightly hampered by limited head/leg/sideways room, but for normal sized persons the seat is fantastic for two with splending leg and back support. Car is also very silent, making long drives a pleasure. see full Volvo V50 review
2010 4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.4L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Lots of front seat room. Good dash design accommodates tall passengers with rear facing car seat behind. Seat was vertically adjustable providing lots of hear room. see full Volvo V50 review
