2017 Audi A6 / S6 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2016 | The second benefit of the Audi A6's more open and expansive interior: it feels roomier, especially in the front seats. With no "race car" or "jet fighter" pretensions, the Audi is easier and more relaxing to drive. The BMW, Cadillac, and Mercedes interiors all feel tighter and more confining. see full Audi A6 / S6 review |

Want a second reason that the Audi A6 might not be your best bet? Perhaps its front seats, as these despite a four-way lumbar adjustment (driver only unless you get the 3.0T Prestige) are just okay. Though likely what a German orthopedist recommended--I've sat in these seats for ten hours without any soreness--I'd personally prefer seats that are less firm and more form-fitting. This said, forms differ, and the Audi's might fit yours better than mine. The rear seat is roomy but, like most, is mounted too close to the floor to provide adults with sufficient under-thigh support. With that, I'm pretty much out of why-nots (though I'll touch on a potential one below). A very good all-around car, the Audi A6 has no glaring faults. see full Audi A6 / S6 review |

The seat causes no discomfort to my tailbone like many ohter cars. Furthermore, the padding is firm and feels like it will last a long time. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review |

Mercedes-Benz makes the best seats in the business, period. Even after a 10 hour drive, my back did not hurt. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review |

Not much leg room when compared to other luxury entries. No flat floor so a 3rd passenger in the rear is not possible. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review |

Center console and stack cut into front side leg room, my left leg is always up against the center console. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review |
