Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
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 |

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 |

7 passenger capacity. see full Volvo XC90 review |

The front leather seating is very comfortable. Having the heated front seats in twe winter allows for quick comfort. The multi adjustable seating for both driver and passenger allows for each to set seats to their liking then set in the memory location see full Volvo XC90 review |
