2013 Buick Verano Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	The Buick Verano's impression of substance and solidity extends to its seats. The front buckets are larger and more thickly padded than those in the typical compact sedan, yet have a firm, properly supportive underlying structure. They look and feel "premium." The Acura ILX's front seats, with more prominent side bolsters, provide better lateral support in hard turns, but don't feel as solid or as luxurious. see full Buick Verano review

Year	Comment
	While the Buick Verano's exterior is large for a compact sedan, its rear seat is among the tightest. The ILX is a bit tighter still. In it I can just fit behind my 5-9 self. But anyone who requires an adult-friendly rear seat will likely reject both cars (along with the new Cadillac ATS). The Verano's 14.5 cubic foot trunk--two cubes over the ILX's--is more competitive, and more in line with Buick's traditional strengths. see full Buick Verano review

2013 Buick Verano Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr Sedan 180-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I'm 6'3. With the seat all the way back I can't reach the pedals. I really don't need to say more. see full Buick Verano review
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I am 6'1", broad shouldered, overweight, and considered quite a big guy, but I have no trouble fitting into the car. Even if you are a couple of inches higher than me, you should be okay. Be advised I chose a car without a sunroof. The sunroof may cut into that headroom. see full Buick Verano review
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	The seat cushioning is about the best in the business. The foam density Buick used is unlike any I have experienced. see full Buick Verano review

2014	4dr Sedan 180-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	If you're tall, prepare for cramping if you have anyone needing to sit behind you. I cannot explain the lack of room here. With my seat in my long range riding position (as far back as I can go with my feet still reaching the pedals) there is 1 and a half inches between the edge of the back seat and the kneeboard on the back of the drivers seat. There is no human capable of putting their leg behind that. see full Buick Verano review
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	No rear seat venting except the floor makes it a bit stuffy for the rear seat passengers. The rear seating area is tight to get into but once seated provide enough space. see full Buick Verano review
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	My right knee(with shorts on) hits the hard plastic to discomfort. I thought about putting some padding there. Same with the lack of padding inside the map pocket on the door to keep contents from rattleing. see full Buick Verano review

2010 Infiniti M Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Sedan 420-horsepower 5.6L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Very comfortable up front. see full Infiniti M review
2011	4dr Sedan 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The footwells are very narrow for a car of this size. This is a side-effect of it being RWD. The "dead" pedal seems to be in the wrong spot, at least for me; it's too far to the right. On the plus side the air conditioned seats are great. It is possible to drive around in 90 degree weather wearing shorts, with the windows down, and feel comfortable. see full Infiniti M review
2011	4dr Sedan 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Very envelopped and comfortable seat, have better padding, and seating posture is better than most of the luxry cars I tried. see full Infiniti M review
2009	4dr Sedan 325-horsepower 4.5L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Huge rear seat with tons of space. Passengers routinly comment on how comfortable it is. Significantly more rear seat room then 5 series BMW. Ininiti G35/37 has more rear seat than the 5 series. see full Infiniti M review

2011	4dr Sedan 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The fronts seats need more bolstering. The BMW 5 series has much, much better seats. If I could change one thing about the car, it would be the seats. Anyone considering this car should sit in the seat at least 30 minutes before making a purchase decision. see full Infiniti M review
