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 |

2010 | 4dr Coupe 232-horsepower 1.3L R2 6-speed manual RWD |
The R3 Recaro seats had side bolsters that were a bit tight for us. I am below average in size as a male, and my wife is also very small and we found the bolsters cut into our hips far more than was comfortable. The seats are racing oriented only. see full Mazda RX-8 review |
