2007 Chevrolet Corvette Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	2dr Hatch 436-horsepower 6.2L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Comfortable, reasonably supportive seats for any reasonable street driving. see full Chevrolet Corvette review
2006	2dr Convertible 400-horsepower 6.0L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	I can travel for many miles (one time was 16 hours between Portland and Casper Wyoming) straight through with perfect comfort. Dial the seat into what is comfortable for me (many choices including lumbar support, and wings that fold in or out around you) see full Chevrolet Corvette review

2015 BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2014	Like all BMWs midsize and larger, the 6-Series Gran Coupe can be equipped with the make's multi-contour seats. Thanks to abundant padding and a large number of adjustments, these are about as comfortable and as supportive as seats get. The Audi A7's seats, firmer, flatter, and with far fewer adjustments, aren't as luxurious or nearly as supportive in hard turns. (I did drive the car for over nine hours one day without even a hint of soreness, though.) see full BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe review

2015 BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Even with the 4.5-inch wheelbase stretch, the 6-Series Gran Coupe has a tight, low-mounted rear seat with a virtually useless center position, as the center console extends all the way to the seat. At 5-9, I can sit behind myself with an inch or so above my head and a couple ahead of my up-angled knees. The cushion is well-shaped, but under-sized. The A7 has a much roomier, more comfortable rear seat. It's the one to buy if you want adult-sized people to use that second pair of doors. (Why you'd want these doors if you're not going to use them? I don't know--ask the person who owns one.) see full BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe review
