2010 Audi A5 / S5 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2011 | 2dr Coupe 354-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed manual AWD |
I am 6'-7" tall. Audi builds cars that I can fit into comfortably. My 1998 A4 was the first car that truly fit me, and the S5 is just as good, if not better. see full Audi A5 / S5 review |

2009 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 170hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual AWD |
Not room enough for sufficient leg space for both front and rear passengers at the same time. Rear seat room is tight. Makes you want to avoid having rear passengers in the car. Typical for a 2-door. see full Audi A5 / S5 review |

With the comfort seat option, you can customize seat position to you preference, including lumbar and shoulder adjustment. Decent support for someone up to 6 feet tall. Heated seats work very well. see full BMW X3 review |
