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 2019 Kia Stinger

2019 Kia Stinger Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2018	Spring for the top-of-the-line Stinger GT2, and the Kia's driver seat gains power adjustments for its side bolsters and cushion length. The tested car was a GT1, yet I did not miss these adjustments. The seat fit me very well without them. I did miss the GT2's ventilated seats on hot days. And if your front seat passenger requires 4-way adjustable lumbar or either of you desires upgraded leather, then you'll also want the top trim. The tested Audi S5 Sportback was fitted with optional ventilated seats. Unfortunately, upgrading to these seats deletes the otherwise standard power-adjustable side bolsters (and massage function), and in this car I did miss having them. Compared to the Kia's, the Audi's seats are much firmer and not nearly as form-fitting. In my rating, I've assumed that the S5 Sportback's standard seats can be adjusted to provide better support than the optional ventilated seats. Otherwise I'd rate the Kia's front seats "much better." Moving to the back seat, in either car headroom should be just enough for adults up to about six feet in height. This is a big improvement over the initial iteration of the S5 Sportback. That car never made it to North America because of a severe rear headroom deficiency. When it comes to rear knee and leg room, the Stinger offers about two-and-a-half more inches. Rear seat passengers are likely to prefer the Kia, especially if they can't quite fit behind a tall driver in the S5. see full Kia Stinger review
