Few cars offer the marriage of rear wheel drive performance with this amount of back seat room for the longer ride (travelling) with 4 adults. see full Hyundai Genesis review |

No discomfort noted on several trips of 250+ miles. Adjustable lumbar support is very nice (not just in/out, but also up/down). see full Hyundai Genesis review |

First, I am a tall person and the seatbelt height adjustment does not go high enough, so if an accident should occur I believe that the shoulder belt will slip off. Also, the seats could be built more comfortable, more sporty. see full Hyundai Genesis review |
TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Volkswagen Passat
| 2013 Volkswagen Passat Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2012 | Volkswagen's research must have found that Americans highly value rear legroom, because the Passat has an abundance of it. Unless you're an NBA center you'll have plenty of room to stretch out in the back of this sedan. see full Volkswagen Passat review | |
