YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr SUV turbocharged 181hp 1.6L I4

The room was not bad, but the seat bottoms are too low and the road noise in the back seats was unbearable. see full Mini Countryman review
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 BMW Z4

2008 BMW Z4 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 2dr Hatch 330-horsepower 3.2L I6
6-speed manual RWD
Adjustable thigh bolster and seat back bolsters offer great support and the Nappa leather is grippy to prevent sliding around. see full BMW Z4 review
2008 BMW Z4 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 2dr Hardtop conv. 255-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
no back seats see full BMW Z4 review
2007 2dr Hatch 330-horsepower 3.2L I6
6-speed manual RWD
I would not recommend the car for EXTREMELY long road trips or the like. Comfort wise, if you used to something that is very plush or soft the car will feel too hard on badly paved roads. see full BMW Z4 review
2007 2dr Hatch 255-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD
There is no rear seat. see full BMW Z4 review
2007 2dr Convertible 215-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
low roof line, long doors make entryb and exit difficult see full BMW Z4 review
