Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	2dr Coupe 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed manual RWD	Very confortable seats, The stock seats hold you pretty well even in a little senmi-agressing driving. Nice position in the power seats and easy to get the just right spot. see full Ford Mustang review

2011 Ford Mustang Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	2dr Coupe 305-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD	My dad's 2010 Camaro has much more legroom than my Mustang. 2 more inches would help a lot, though I have to admit even at 6-3, I'm still pretty comfy in the Mustang. The room would be nice to have on trips. see full Ford Mustang review
2011	2dr Coupe 305-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD	Felt like seating position was "on the floor". Steering wheel had only tilt adjustment, no telescope. see full Ford Mustang review

2008	4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The sport seats offer exceptional levels of adjustment. I especially like the extendable leg support and the tilt of the upper back. The lumbar in the sport seats adjusts in up and down as well. see full BMW 5-Series review
2008	4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The comfort seat option is to die for. There is NO production automobile mfg that produces a seat that comfortable. see full BMW 5-Series review
