What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2009 Mercedes-Benz M-Class
| 2009 Mercedes-Benz M-Class Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Bottom seat cushions are long enough for taller drivers. Padding is not too firm or too soft. Excellent support and an upright, easy-chair seating position, instead of having to extend your legs horizontally to get legroom. Results in no low back pain. see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review |

| 2013 | 0 | Seats mold to your body and they heat up fast which helps in winter. see full Hyundai Elantra review |
| 2012 Hyundai Elantra Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2013 | 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
This is really not a con. If they offered the option of a front passenger power seat with lumbar as an option, I along with many others would likely opt for it. see full Hyundai Elantra review |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
