What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Infiniti M

2012 Infiniti M Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr Sedan 420-horsepower 5.6L V8
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Very comfortable up front. see full Infiniti M review
2011 4dr Sedan 330-horsepower 3.7L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD
The footwells are very narrow for a car of this size. This is a side-effect of it being RWD. The "dead" pedal seems to be in the wrong spot, at least for me; it's too far to the right. On the plus side the air conditioned seats are great. It is possible to drive around in 90 degree weather wearing shorts, with the windows down, and feel comfortable. see full Infiniti M review
2011 4dr Sedan 330-horsepower 3.7L V6

Very envelopped and comfortable seat, have better padding, and seating posture is better than most of the luxry cars I tried. see full Infiniti M review

The fronts seats need more bolstering. The BMW 5 series has much, much better seats. If I could change one thing about the car, it would be the seats. Anyone considering this car should sit in the seat at least 30 minutes before making a purchase decision. see full Infiniti M review

The first con is the obvious one, and a deal killer for many people. While the FR-S has a barely usable rear seat, the MX-5 Miata has none at all. see full Mazda MX-5 Miata review
