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 |

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 |
2016 Hyundai Sonata Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2015 | According to the spec sheets, the Ford Fusion has nearly as much combined legroom as the new Sonata, which has an inch more than the old Sonata. But Ford cheats the specs. In reality, the Hyundai's rear seat has a few more inches of rear legroom than the Ford's, and about as much as you'll find in any competitor. Rear headroom is in shorter supply, but (again as in most competitors) should be sufficient for people up to six feet in height. The rear seat cushion is a little too low and level to provide optimal thigh support, but the space to stretch out largely compensates for this. You can get rear air vents to help cool this roomy rear seat, but only on the Limited and Sport 2.0T. see full Hyundai Sonata review |
