| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual FWD |
The front seats are wonderful. I tend to get stiff and sore when I sit too long in a car, especially my old VW GTI and our other VW Passat wagon. These seats in the C30 are very comfortable and I felt good getting out after a long drive. see full Volvo C30 review |
| 2011 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Excellent support for very long drives. Passengers in the rear say the same. see full Volvo C30 review |

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 BMW i8
| 2015 BMW i8 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| The Cadillac ELR's rear seat is very tight for the average adult, but a couple 5-9 or under can sit back there without outright discomfort. The BMW i8's rear seat is so tight and so vestigial that putting all but the shortest people back there borders on cruel and unusual punishment. I squeezed into the i8's back seat to photograph its instrument panel interior and almost couldn't get out. For those who want an adult-friendly rear seat, the Tesla Model S is far superior to either coupe. see full BMW i8 review | ||
