2014 Audi A7 / S7 / RS7 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
Among luxury cars, Audis have my least favorite seats. They're less cushy and less coddling than the others. They're firm, and seem to want your body to adapt to them rather than the other way around. In the A7, seat adjustments are limited to the usual plus four-way lumbar. The seat's smallish bolsters are spaced fairly widely, and only frequenting all-you-can-eat buffets can bring them closer. This said, one day I drove the A7 for 600 miles and emerged without a hint of back soreness. So maybe the seats do know what's best for me. Perhaps they could teach a thing or two to the door-mounted arm rest. It's overly firm, and my left elbow did get sore. see full Audi A7 / S7 / RS7 review |

2010 | 2dr Coupe 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed manual RWD |
Very confortable seats, The stock seats hold you pretty well even in a little senmi-agressing driving. Nice position in the power seats and easy to get the just right spot. see full Ford Mustang review |

My dad's 2010 Camaro has much more legroom than my Mustang. 2 more inches would help a lot, though I have to admit even at 6-3, I'm still pretty comfy in the Mustang. The room would be nice to have on trips. see full Ford Mustang review |

Felt like seating position was "on the floor". Steering wheel had only tilt adjustment, no telescope. see full Ford Mustang review |
