2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range	small, tight see full Jeep Grand Cherokee review
2007	4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range	That and MPG are the only real faults so far after 15000 miles and 15 mons. I think our 2001 GC has more seat comfort although the 07s seats do fold over easier than the 01s. see full Jeep Grand Cherokee review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Driving 4-5 hours in a row left no fatigue or discomfort in my back or legs. The seats are just firm enough but very supportive where they need to be. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review
2008	4dr Sedan 382-horsepower 5.5L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The most comfortable seats among all its rivals including Lexus, Jaguar, BMW, Audi, and Infiniti. Plenty of adjustments in the seat and the telescoping steering wheel. Plenty of front seat room for people 6 foot tall and more. Provides ample support. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review
2008	4dr Sedan turbocharged 210hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Can spend all day driving this car and not be exhausted. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review
2008	4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Much better sized for me. My prior 2007 three series BMW was too small and cramped. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review
2007	4dr Sedan 507-horsepower 6.2L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Lots of room and has adjustments on multicontour seats. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review
2007	4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Very comfortable, firm seating,even after very long drives. The combination of lumbar support and heat leaves me refreshed after eight- and nine-hour drives. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review

2008 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 382-horsepower 5.5L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The back seat is very comfortable and provides good headroom and seating support. They fold down to provide additional storage room. My complaint is that it is not S class roomy in the back. Leg and foot room can be limited if sitting behind a tall driver see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review
