2008 Pontiac Grand Prix Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 303-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Front of the GXP is great - heated leather seats, plenty of seat adjustments, and the controls are all pointed at the driver. Even on a 20 hour trip, I had no issues with discomfort. see full Pontiac Grand Prix review
2007	4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Front seats are nicely bolstered and are adjustable in every aspect. see full Pontiac Grand Prix review
2007	4dr Sedan supercharged 260hp 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	The seats support completely without the need to squirm around on ling trips see full Pontiac Grand Prix review

2017 Audi Q7 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Now that the Audi Q7's price and styling have been given their due, my other "why nots" are much less clear cut. You sit SUV-high in the new Audi Q7, even higher (if memory serves) than in the Volvo, and certainly higher than in the relatively car-like Acura. While the commanding view over traffic will appeal to many drivers, they're less likely to enjoy the Q7's high floor. The step up won't be an easy one for shorter or older drivers. They'll want running boards. For such a beamy vehicle, with about two inches more shoulder room than in the far-from-narrow Volvo XC90, the Audi Q7 has unexpectedly little stretch out room in the front seats. The culprit: an unusually high and wide center console. The XC90, with a much narrower and lower console, feels roomier--but not as sporty. see full Audi Q7 review
