What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Audi A4 / S4

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 2020 Toyota Highlander

2020 Toyota Highlander Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	With each redesign (for 2008, 2014, and 2020) Toyota has enlarged the Highlander, yet the crossover's third-row seat remains uncomforably low and tight. For adults to be even passably comfortable in the way-back the second row must be slid forward, rendering legroom there also marginal. Some three-row crossovers have much roomier and more comfortable third-row seats. But if you want to be able to squeeze in eight people, Highlanders with a second-row bench can do this. Because they have significantly narrower third-row seats, the Ford Explorer and Kia Sorento cannot fit three people back there even in a pinch, so in hybrid form the former has a maximum capacity of seven people and the latter only six. (The Sorento PHEV will be able to seat seven.) This noted, if you want your adult passengers to have plenty of room, the practical capacity of each is four people. see full Toyota Highlander review

2020 Toyota Highlander Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2020	4dr SUV 295-horsepower 3.5L V6 8-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The 3rd row seating is just not for adults at all, and I'm not certain that children would be easy to fit back there as well. I'm not sure what Toyota was thinking, even making the 2020 longer didn't make any difference at all. My one complaint is it is just TOO SMALL! see full Toyota Highlander review
