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 |

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

2011 Volkswagen Jetta Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD |
This vehicle was intended to be the "Mommy Mobile". My wife also likes to drive most of the time in "Her Car". I am 6 ft 205 lb; with my 22 month old daughter in a forward facing car seat, I feel I have to pull my seat some what forward to allow her room. This makes my knees kinda touch the glove box. It really only is a problem if shes is fussy, and does not want anything near her. (Instead of hearing her fuss I move it....sometimes.) see full Volkswagen Jetta review |

2011 | 4dr Sedan 115-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
While the Jetta is extremely roomy and comfortable, the center console is slightly too close and can interfere with the driver's right knee and calf. see full Volkswagen Jetta review |

The rear seat is a little small but compared to other compact cars it is not bad, Still cramped if your over 6 feet. see full Volkswagen Jetta review |
