2013 Cadillac ATS Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The latest 3-Series has a roomy, comfortable back seat. Cadillac didn't see this coming, and sized the ATS to compete with the previous-generation BMW. Consequently, the Cadillac's rear seat is considerably tighter than the BMW's or the Infiniti G37's, a little tighter than an A4's, about even with that in a C-Class, and roomier than that in a Lexus IS. If you want adults to be comfortable in back, the ATS isn't your car, but neither are most of the cars it competes with. see full Cadillac ATS review |

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 |
