2014 BMW i8 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Cadillac ELR's rear seat is very tight for the average adult, but a couple 5-9 or under can sit back there without outright discomfort. The BMW i8's rear seat is so tight and so vestigial that putting all but the shortest people back there borders on cruel and unusual punishment. I squeezed into the i8's back seat to photograph its instrument panel interior and almost couldn't get out. For those who want an adult-friendly rear seat, the Tesla Model S is far superior to either coupe. see full BMW i8 review |

2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Giulia's rear seat is roomier than those in the the similarly driver-oriented Cadillac and Jaguar. But, firm and poorly shaped, it isn't comfortable. The roomier and much more comfortable rear seat in the Audi A4 easily wins this one. see full Alfa Romeo Giulia review |
