2017 Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 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 / RS3 review |

Rear seats are cramped. Access is awful, with strange half-doors that require front doors to be open before they can be opened. see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review |

Adults do not fit well in the back seat comfortably, and the rear access doors, while a cool design, lack functionality(no handle to release the door except on the inside) see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review |
