2011 Volvo C30 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
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

2011 Volvo C30 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Lack of leg room. This car is a two seater. see full Volvo C30 review

2015 GMC Terrain Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2015	4dr SUV 301-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The rear seat room is plentiful, and because rear seat can be slid forward and back, you can shift between needing more leg room and using more of the cargo area. We had traded in a 2015 Dodge Journey for the Terrain, because of safety concerns, but realized after we had it for awhile, the rear seat of the Journey was not able to go back far enough into the cargo area, and because of the bulky and high mounted head rests, you felt trapped. The Terrain does not have these issues and feels much more roomy and comfortable. The rear seats are supportive and not at all like some back seats that feel like they were an afterthought. see full GMC Terrain review
