2012 Volvo C70 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Great front seats, very comfortable. Minimal wind buffeting with the top down. Volvo offered an accessory wind blocker with this model but it's not necessary. Interior trim on the arm rests could be softer. My elbow gets sore resting on the hard plastic. I keep a small fleece pad in the car to solve this little issue. see full Volvo C70 review

2008 Acura RL Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	A little tight up front especially when compared to the M35 which is very roomy. see full Acura RL review
2007	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Again, tight when compared to the M35. see full Acura RL review
