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 |

Front seats are designed for fat people. They need to redesign them to be more snug feel. see full Chevrolet Corvette review |

2013 | 2dr Coupe 420-horsepower 5.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
Without the sunroof, there is adequate headroom, legroom, and hiproom for taller drivers (6'6"+). The seats are supportive and comfortable for longer drives. This car makes a competent "daily driver" in fair weather. see full Ford Mustang review |

2012 | 2dr Coupe 305-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
My dad's 2010 Camaro has much more legroom than my Mustang. 2 more inches would help a lot, though I have to admit even at 6-3, I'm still pretty comfy in the Mustang. The room would be nice to have on trips. see full Ford Mustang review |
2011 | 2dr Coupe 305-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
Felt like seating position was "on the floor". Steering wheel had only tilt adjustment, no telescope. see full Ford Mustang review |
