The rear seat is small and unlike the nonconvertable does not have a center seat. see full Chevrolet Camaro review |

The interior leather seats are extremely comfortable to the point where my wife commented that she could sit in them for hours more.They are firm with good support. see full Chevrolet Camaro review |

comfort is fine, but not for large adults. All the kids are gone now so no problem for me. see full Chevrolet Camaro review |

Not to complain about a great car, but a muscle car like the Camaro is really bought as a 2 seater, but for short trips, can accomodate 4. see full Chevrolet Camaro review |
2013 BMW 3-Series Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2014 | The BMW 3-Series used to be tight inside, but it has grown with each redesign, especially the most recent one. The rear seat of the current sedan isn't nearly as roomy as that in the related 3-Series Gran Turismo hatchback. But it offers considerably more rear legroom than direct competitors like the Audi A4, Cadillac ATS, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. In fact, combined front and rear legroom is the same as in the one size-class up, ten-inch-longer Mercedes E-Class. (You do get a half-inch more rear headroom and nearly two inches more rear shoulder room in the Benz.) Beyond the specs, the BMW's rear seat is comfortably high off the floor, a rarity in the age of sedans with plunging coupe-like roof lines. see full BMW 3-Series review |
