Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Hatch 73-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	I'm 6ft, 190lb. and I feel OK driving this car. It's similar to 2003 Civic, and obviously less than 2012 Accord. see full Toyota Prius c review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD	More padding, slightly larger than e46 sport seats, fully adjustable side bolsters and the Dakota leather seems thicker and softer than the e-46 leather. see full BMW 3-Series review
2007	4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	back support see full BMW 3-Series review
2006	4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD	Heated, 8-way, with lumbar control: seems to have comfort covered for most drivers (wheel does not telescope). see full BMW 3-Series review
2005	2dr Coupe 333-horsepower 3.2L I6 6-speed manual RWD	My M3 is the only sports car I found that will comfortably fit a baby seat in the rear. :) see full BMW 3-Series review

2007	2dr Coupe 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	I have the coupe, the back seats are just an afterthought. see full BMW 3-Series review
2007	4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Too small & cramped. Fit and finish was much less desirable than my past 1998 5 series BMW. see full BMW 3-Series review
2006	4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD	Small. see full BMW 3-Series review

2006	4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The rear seats are comfortable, but due to the size of/shortness of the car there is not much legroom, a full size adult will have trouble getting their feet into the footwells. Mind you, the trunk space is immense for such a small car. see full BMW 3-Series review
2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD	There is little foot room and the ride is rough. see full BMW 3-Series review
