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 |

Due to the position of the doors it is hard to get in and out of the car. see full Audi A3 review |

The back seat is too small for most adults. I hadn't thought about it much when I bought the car, but it became apparent. I'd take friends to lunch and they are uncomfortable.Even ifa personplans on sitting small children in the back, they grow and the useful life of the car is affected. I wish the Europeans would figure that out. see full Audi A3 review |

The Subaru has a more comfortable and roomy back seat, with easier ingress/egress. see full Audi A3 review |

Anyone who has owned a Mustang converatble wll undestand the issues with rear seats in this car. I keep the seat backs down and drive as a two seater. Also Some may find not enough storage bins and cup holders are a tad back for those of us who have shorter legs. But not a deal breaker. see full Infiniti EX review |

The back seat is small, not a problem for my wife and I, it works just fine for our limited use. see full Infiniti EX review |

In agreement with 99% of all other reviews...back seat is a little small but it isn't to say that you cannot sit back there. Taller people may be a little cramped with head and legroom depending on how far back the front seat is positioned see full Infiniti EX review |
