| 2010 | 2dr Coupe 376-horsepower 5.7L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
I can set the front seat in a comfortable location for myself and still have room behind me for a rear seat passenger. Seat can be positioned for a more chair-like seating position. see full Dodge Challenger review |
| 2010 | 2dr Coupe 376-horsepower 5.7L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
Larger/wider back seat with capability of handling modern child seats. Adequate space for occasional adult use of back seat. see full Dodge Challenger review |
| 2010 | 2dr Coupe 376-horsepower 5.7L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
With the tilt/telescope steering wheel and the larger interior room vs. its competitors this car is easily adjusted to fit the driver and I get out still feeling good after all-day drives. see full Dodge Challenger review |

| 2012 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Four adults can easily and comfortably fit in this car, with plenty of room for luggage. see full Volkswagen Golf / GTI review |
| 2011 | 2dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L I5 5-speed manual FWD |
Seats actually fit your body and have proper bolstering, unlike most other seats in this price range which are more like shelves for oversized American behinds. see full Volkswagen Golf / GTI review |
| 2011 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD |
Good leg room and supportive seats. see full Volkswagen Golf / GTI review |
| 2011 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD |
Good leg room for a small car. Supportive seats. see full Volkswagen Golf / GTI review |
| 2011 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
I have MS, so comfortable seats are a must. This is the only car that I've been in where I could do a non-stop trip from Michigan to Washington DC in. No fatigue, no stopping for a stretch. It's that good, and VW throws in standard heated seats for the GTI. And they do mean "heated" seats, not "warmed" seats, not "take-the-edge-off" seats. Turn them on full and your bum will be roasting with in a few minutes. see full Volkswagen Golf / GTI review |

Firm, supportive seats. Not too hard. Should be excellent for long road trips. see full Volkswagen Golf / GTI review |
| 2011 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
Firm, yet comfortable. Excellent lateral support in the turns. Excellent thigh support fro taller driver. Can sit for hours and still feel comfortable. see full Volkswagen Golf / GTI review |
