Default Does anyone else think that the rear bench looks pretty uncomfortable?

Really shaped like a bench - upright with very little contours.

While I do realise that coupes are bought by drivers to be driven, I still need to carry four in relative comfort. Would you put yourself back there?

Is the 335 better in this respect? Not been in one before.

Default Trust me, it's not uncomfortable. Not a lot of leg room though.

Default I've gotta say...

...the back seat of the 335Ci is actually pretty comfortable and while not as easy to access as a sedan (obviously), it's not that bad either. Not a whole lot of leg room, but it's decent and the seats themselves are quite nice.

It is actually set up to be a 2+2, with a console between the two outboard seats, so there's nobody sitting on the "bump" in the middle.

As I've noted earlier, though, the interior of the A5 looks a whole lot better, and I'm betting those seats aren't bad to spend a little time in either. Of course, I plan to be the one driving! Ha!

Cheers,

Default Actually it looks pretty good to me for a small coupe, but I won't ever be sitting in the back.

Default I thought the back seat of the 335 had ridiculously difficult ingress & even harder egress

Default If you need to routinely carry 4 adults, a coupe of any make is a poor choice.
