2008 Pontiac Grand Prix Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata

2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
The most obvious reason not to buy any Mazda MX-5 Miata? The thing that kept me from buying one: no back seat. The MINI Roadster also had not back seat, while the MINI Convertible and Scion FR-S have vestigial perches on which only my smallest child might sit semi-comfortably. In contrast, I can fit all three of my teenagers into my Mazda RX-8. But if my wife also wants to come along, we have to take our other car. see full Mazda MX-5 Miata review
