2006 Audi A4 / S4 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD	Great when I can take my husband and teenagers up to the mountains for a ski trip without any major complaints. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2007	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Excellent for cruising but lateral support is sorely lacking for cornering. Needs power & memory for the tilt/telescope steering wheel. Good view out of and around vehicle. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2006	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Lots of room. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2005	4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed manual AWD	These are the most comfortable and supportive seats I have ever sat in and this includes luxury cars like the Lincoln Town Car. The extendable thigh support is a bonus. see full Audi A4 / S4 review

2006 Audi A4 / S4 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	OK for kids, not really on for adults for a long journey. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2007	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 7-speed shiftable CVT FWD	What room? What comfort? Tight and cramped and incredibly firm. Zero leg room for average height adults. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2007	2dr Convertible turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Center console protrudes into the leg area while gas pedal is far over to the right. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2007	2dr Convertible turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Rear seats are really only good for children and pets. A grown person could never sit back there. This is expected for a convertible though. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2007	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Limited leg room, especially during ingress and egress. Hump bisects leg room. Seat cushion needs to be 1-2 inches higher. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2007	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	small rear seat like the 3 series see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2006	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Back seat leg room and head room is pretty small. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2006	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD	Sport seats were not provided to the US due to DOT crash testing regulations. This means the only seats available are the very flat and uncomfortable standard seats. Only the S4 has the Recaro option for the US. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2006	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD	For tall passengers, the front seats will need to be pushed back in order to provide front leg room. Width of the cockpit side-to-side is not substantial. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed manual AWD	not a lot of rear seat leg room, esp if tall person in front seats see full Audi A4 / S4 review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2016 Chevrolet SS

2016 Chevrolet SS Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2015	Despite its slightly more compact exterior, the Chevrolet SS has a roomier back seat than the Dodge Charger. Rear headroom is in unexpectedly short supply in the latter. The Chevrolet also has a couple more inches of rear hiproom, so three adults won't have to get quite as cozy in its back seat. Both cars have about 16 cubic feet of trunk space. A good amount, but you'll find as much in most midsize sedans. Unlike the Charger's, the SS's rear seat cannot fold to expand the trunk. But a pass-through in the center is far larger than most. see full Chevrolet SS review

2016 Chevrolet SS Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	The front seats in the Chevrolet SS are comfortable. They also look like they'd provide generous lateral support, but don't, at least not for those of us who aren't built like linebackers. Thankfully the upper seat back features some synthetic suede trim, and this prevents sliding in hard turns. Still, a car with such high handling limits should have seats with much larger and more effective side bolsters--like those available in the Dodge Charger. see full Chevrolet SS review

2016 Chevrolet SS Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2017	4dr Sedan 415-horsepower 6.2L V8 6-speed manual RWD	Rear seat is functional and roomy. I'm 6'4" and with the drivers seat in my preferred postion there is still a decent amount of legroom behind. Overall much better than the Charger/Challenger. see full Chevrolet SS review

2016 Chevrolet SS Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2017	4dr Sedan 415-horsepower 6.2L V8 6-speed manual RWD	The front seat is just OK. Feels like a pretty flat bottom and fairly hard. Also, for a car with sporting pretentions there is surprisingly little side bolstering. see full Chevrolet SS review
