2012 Volvo S60 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L I5
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
The driver's seat and driver's position are outstanding, the best I've ever experienced and I've driven Lexuses and Infinitis. Passenger's seat is also very comfortable.rnrnCaution: Back seat and trunk are small. Also, no spare. You get an inflation kit. You can pay $250 for a donut spare. see full Volvo S60 review
2013 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Volvo has a reputation for quality seating - I am very pleased with the comfort and support. I had a recent trip of about 14 hours, and the seats provided the best comfort I've had compared to all other cars I've owned and have drove in long distance trips. see full Volvo S60 review

Very comfortable driving position. Visibility is outstanding in all quarters. I've taken this car on frequent road trips (>300 miles) and I've been very comfortable throughout the trip. see full Volvo S60 review

Very tight in back. see full Volvo S60 review
2013 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Rear seat space is smaller than 3-series BMW. It's fine for children/young adults, but full size people will find it a little tight. Volvo should have added about six inches to the length and a few inches in width. see full Volvo S60 review

2009 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUT 210-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
So bad I can't drive it much more than the 4 miles to and from work. The front seats are so hard that the first couple times I drove it I couldn't figure out why my feet were so cold. Because the circulation below my knees was being cutoff. I have tried extra cushions for the seat bottom and I have found something that really helps, but on longer drives, combined with the firm ride - bring your Advil. see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review
