2006 Volvo S80 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.2L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Excellent lumbar support and almost infinate power adjustments help my probelms with episodic low back pain. see full Volvo S80 review
2007	4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.2L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The front seats are like sitting in a lazy boy. So comfortable on long trips and just a dream to drive. see full Volvo S80 review

2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	These seats desperately need more lumbar support. They're okay in short distances, but I really want the Recaros from the Evo a few hours in. Stronger side bolsters would be nice for hoon duty, too. see full Mitsubishi Lancer review
