What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Audi A4 / S4

2012 Audi A4 / S4 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr Sedan supercharged 333hp 3.0L V6
7-speed automated manual AWD
Without question, the most comfortable car for long road trips that I've ever owned. Our family of four took a road trip of ~2000 miles, longest single-day drive was 11 hours, and never felt any fatigue or discomfort from the seating. Seats are firm and supportive but not harsh or uncomfortable. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2012 Audi A4 / S4 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

2012 4dr Sedan turbocharged 211hp 2.0L I4

Like German cars, the seats are quite hard. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
