2011 4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD
I have a problem with headroom. So many cars give me less than a half inch from my scalp to the frame on the sunroof. That hurts over bumps, not to mention what my hair looks like when I get out. GLK has over an inch of space for me. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review

If you are 6' plus like me, you will have to adjust the front seat forward if you want passengers to ride with you unless they are quite small. But this is a perfect city hauler for a single or couple. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review
2010 4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD
When the front seats are positioned comfortably aft for a six footer, the second row passengers have way too little leg room. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review

Cramped and uncomfortable for anyone over 5 feet tall. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review

Wife and I are 5.9 and 5.5 respectively. kids can easily kick the seat (whcih in the Benz you want there feet off things). Not bad in sense it feels roomy when in it, but if you are looking for LOTS of space, look elsewhere. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review

We've only had the GLK-350 for a week. The backseat seems a little on the small side. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review

YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L I5
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
The driver's seat and driver's position are outstanding, the best I've ever experienced and I've driven Lexuses and Infinitis. Passenger's seat is also very comfortable.rnrnCaution: Back seat and trunk are small. Also, no spare. You get an inflation kit. You can pay $250 for a donut spare. see full Volvo S60 review
2013 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Volvo has a reputation for quality seating - I am very pleased with the comfort and support. I had a recent trip of about 14 hours, and the seats provided the best comfort I've had compared to all other cars I've owned and have drove in long distance trips. see full Volvo S60 review
2012 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L I5

Rear seat space is smaller than 3-series BMW. It's fine for children/young adults, but full size people will find it a little tight. Volvo should have added about six inches to the length and a few inches in width. see full Volvo S60 review
