What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 Toyota Corolla

2008 Toyota Corolla Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	My right knee/upper calf hits on the side of the console and sometimes gets irritated. The edge of the silver plastic portion could have been designed different/better. see full Toyota Corolla review
2008	4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Car was too confined for 3 tall pre teen kids/8/11/12 years old. Not enough leg nor shoulder room, Wife and myself near 6ft tall see full Toyota Corolla review
2008	4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Non existent, adults should not use the rear seats. Could be used as punishment for criminals. see full Toyota Corolla review
2007	4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	We would have never got rid of the Corolla, but we had a baby and the rear facing car seat made the front seat occupants seat too far forward, close to the dash, to make the seat fit.The car seat made driving very uncomfortable see full Toyota Corolla review
2007	4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Front seat room was great, as long as the seats were able to be near the back of their travel. When we had to move the front seats forward for a car seat to fit in the back, it made it too uncomfortable see full Toyota Corolla review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 BMW Z4

2006 BMW Z4 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
2006	2dr Convertible 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD	I find the front seat, even heated, to have great lumbar support, my sciatica does not bother me even when I have to use the clutch. Those with long legs are amazed at all the leg room available. see full BMW Z4 review
2005	2dr Convertible 184-horsepower 2.5L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	enough leg room for a six-footer (unlike the Miata we almost bought) see full BMW Z4 review

2006 BMW Z4 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
2007	2dr Hatch 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD	There is no rear seat. 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
