2006 Audi A3 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||

2007 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
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 |

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

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

it is very comfortable during short trips or long drives. The seat can be adjusted many ways as well as the wheel. The controls are all in reach and easy to use. The dash is not too high nor to low. The car is very easy to see out of while driving. see full Jaguar X-Type review |

Well I am a taller person so when i have the drivers seat in my driving position there is virtually no room behind me so that makes the rear seat worthless for just about any person. see full Jaguar X-Type review |
