I tried the LS cloth, LT2 Ultralux, and LTZ leather seats...all of them were uncomfortable. Too little padding. see full Chevrolet Malibu review |

The front passenger seat is like sitting in a hole. It can be difficult to get out of. see full Chevrolet Malibu review |
2014 Jaguar XJ Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2013 | This sporty, tailored theme continues with the shape of the 20-way-adjustable front seats. The A8's seats have even more adjustments, yet no matter how much you fiddle with them aren't nearly as form-fitting or as cosseting. The XJ's more precisely shaped, cushy (yet not at all mushy) buckets seem much more tailored to the human form. The space between their modestly sized but firm bolsters can be adjusted to provide more lateral support when this is called for. The only noteworthy shortcoming of the XJ's front seats: though the headrests can be manually adjusted fore-and-aft, even in their most rearward position these press a bit much against the back of my head. Your physique and experience may vary. The rear seats are similarly form-fitting, but without a center console to rob space. see full Jaguar XJ review |

As mentioned when discussing the driving position, the XJ's front seat doesn't feel nearly as roomy as those in the Audi and BMW. But it also feels sportier. What's your priority? see full Jaguar XJ review |
