2012 Tesla Model S Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The front seats in the Tesla Model S are reasonably comfortable, but don't look or feel especially luxurious and provide little lateral support in turns. At least in the Performance model the side bolsters should be larger and/or adjustable. The seats in the A7 similarly need more aggressive bolsters. The seats in the S7 have them. see full Tesla Model S review |

The interior leather seats are extremely comfortable to the point where my wife commented that she could sit in them for hours more.They are firm with good support. see full Chevrolet Camaro review |

comfort is fine, but not for large adults. All the kids are gone now so no problem for me. see full Chevrolet Camaro review |

Not to complain about a great car, but a muscle car like the Camaro is really bought as a 2 seater, but for short trips, can accomodate 4. see full Chevrolet Camaro review |
