2007 Jaguar XJ Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2006 | 4dr Sedan 300-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed automatic RWD |
Plenty of room in the big cat, however never could get comfortable behind the wheel. While large and spacious, the seats were hard, lacked lumbar support, and did not fit my back well. see full Jaguar XJ review |

2010 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
This car has a very small back seat. If you want to carry passengers for a long distance, get an E class. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review |
2009 | 4dr Sedan 228-horsepower 3.0L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Mercedes-Benz makes the best seats in the business, period. Even after a 10 hour drive, my back did not hurt. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review |
2009 | 4dr Sedan 228-horsepower 3.0L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The seat causes no discomfort to my tailbone like many ohter cars. Furthermore, the padding is firm and feels like it will last a long time. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review |

2009 | 4dr Sedan supercharged 181hp 1.8L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Not much leg room when compared to other luxury entries. No flat floor so a 3rd passenger in the rear is not possible. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review |
