2017 4dr Sedan 415-horsepower 6.2L V8
6-speed manual RWD
Rear seat is functional and roomy. I'm 6'4" and with the drivers seat in my preferred postion there is still a decent amount of legroom behind. Overall much better than the Charger/Challenger. see full Chevrolet SS review

The front seat is just OK. Feels like a pretty flat bottom and fairly hard. Also, for a car with sporting pretentions there is surprisingly little side bolstering. see full Chevrolet SS review

2010 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
Tight for large people. Fine for kids. Smaller than a G37, much smaller than a Maxima. see full BMW 3-Series review
2009 0 Not much room in rear see if driver is 6 feet tall see full BMW 3-Series review
2009 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed manual AWD
With a 6-foot driver, rear seat room is barely adequate for adults, for short trips. This is typical for this car segment, though. see full BMW 3-Series review
2009 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Limited for adults see full BMW 3-Series review
2009 4dr Sedan 414-horsepower 4.0L V8

Wish the rear seats had 1" more legroom. see full BMW 3-Series review
