Very comfy, yet generally supportive. Highly adjustable with two memory options. Cooled and heated seats are wonderful. see full Infiniti M review |

Most front leg room compared to similar vehicles at the time. Even rear leg room fair. First car I owned with rear view camera still working well with great color and resolution. see full Infiniti M review |

I am 6'-7" tall. Audi builds cars that I can fit into comfortably. My 1998 A4 was the first car that truly fit me, and the S5 is just as good, if not better. see full Audi A5 / S5 review |
