2009 Audi A3 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2009 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
A lot less leg room when compared to the GTI, but the rear hatch space is bigger. see full Audi A3 review |
2008 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
Really just a 4 place vehicle...3 across in the rear is not comfortably possible. see full Audi A3 review |

Slightly too close to each other in arm room. see full Audi A3 review |
2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Giulia's rear seat is roomier than those in the the similarly driver-oriented Cadillac and Jaguar. But, firm and poorly shaped, it isn't comfortable. The roomier and much more comfortable rear seat in the Audi A4 easily wins this one. see full Alfa Romeo Giulia review |
