2006 Saab 9-2X Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2005	4dr Wagon turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	Cramped rear seat leg room. Rear door opening tight at shoe level. Swooping c-pillar design obstructs outward visibility. see full Saab 9-2X review
2005	4dr Wagon turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	Lack of any type of lumbar support is very uncomfortable. I opened the seat and installed my own inflatable device...much better now. see full Saab 9-2X review
2005	4dr Wagon turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4 5-speed manual AWD	Somewhat cramped rear legroom. see full Saab 9-2X review
2005	4dr Wagon turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4 5-speed manual AWD	Not really very luxurious. see full Saab 9-2X review

2011 Mercedes-Benz GLK Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I have a problem with headroom. So many cars give me less than a half inch from my scalp to the frame on the sunroof. That hurts over bumps, not to mention what my hair looks like when I get out. GLK has over an inch of space for me. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review

2011 Mercedes-Benz GLK Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	If you are 6' plus like me, you will have to adjust the front seat forward if you want passengers to ride with you unless they are quite small. But this is a perfect city hauler for a single or couple. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review
2010	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	When the front seats are positioned comfortably aft for a six footer, the second row passengers have way too little leg room. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review
2010	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Cramped and uncomfortable for anyone over 5 feet tall. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review
2010	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Wife and I are 5.9 and 5.5 respectively. kids can easily kick the seat (whcih in the Benz you want there feet off things). Not bad in sense it feels roomy when in it, but if you are looking for LOTS of space, look elsewhere. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review
2010	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	We've only had the GLK-350 for a week. The backseat seems a little on the small side. see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review
2010	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	small see full Mercedes-Benz GLK review
