2018 Mini Clubman Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2017 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 189hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
The sport seats in the basic black leatherette are nicely bolstered though not overly enveloping like seats in my FR-S. This means it hits a nice middle ground of comfort but still keeping you from being thrown around in aggressive driving. The manually adjusted seats are easily positioned to a comfortable state after you figure out which of the 4 levers is doing what. The adjustible thigh support is especially nice and not something I often see in this segment. see full Mini Clubman review |

2008 | 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
the front seat has plenty of leg room and seats hug you see full Ford Explorer review |
2006 | 4dr SUV 292-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Have driven from Maryland to Florida and back a couple of times, as well as 3-4 hours trips routinely. Seats are comfortable with no backache and don't have to stop every couple of hours due to fatigue. Could drive and be comfortable all day long. see full Ford Explorer review |
