| 2008 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I tested both the Mini Cooper and Volvo C30. The C30, by far, is the most comfortable and easy to find a great driving position. Driving from Los Angeles to San Francisco without any back or shoulder fatigue! see full Volvo C30 review |

| 2011 Volvo V50 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 113hp 1.6L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual FWD |
Rear seat is slightly hampered by limited head/leg/sideways room, but for normal sized persons the seat is fantastic for two with splending leg and back support. Car is also very silent, making long drives a pleasure. see full Volvo V50 review |
| 2010 | 4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.4L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Lots of front seat room. Good dash design accommodates tall passengers with rear facing car seat behind. Seat was vertically adjustable providing lots of hear room. see full Volvo V50 review |
