2016 Audi A3 / S3 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
Same goes for rear seat room. The Audi S3's rear seat can be a tight fit for adults, especially if those in the front seats are tall. But at least most adults will fit. My adult-sized children rode in the back seat from Detroit to Nashville and back without complaining about the amount of space. (It helped that none of us are tall; I'm 5-9.) The back seat in the CLA provides far less room for heads and legs. Mercedes markets it as a coupe for a reason. see full Audi A3 / S3 review |

2011 GMC Acadia Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2012 | 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The third room has enough head room to even fit an adult comfortably and is wide enough to accommodate three individuals. It is one of the few SUV's that offer 8 seat capacity and has a larger interior capacity than a Tahoe. see full GMC Acadia review |
2011 | 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
we travel with adults not children and find the 2nd row very comfortable. see full GMC Acadia review |
2010 | 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Better 2nd & 3rd row comfort than the Honda Minivan (this is to be a daily driver for a family with 4 kids under 10) see full GMC Acadia review |
