2014 Audi A7 / S7 / RS7 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Among luxury cars, Audis have my least favorite seats. They're less cushy and less coddling than the others. They're firm, and seem to want your body to adapt to them rather than the other way around. In the A7, seat adjustments are limited to the usual plus four-way lumbar. The seat's smallish bolsters are spaced fairly widely, and only frequenting all-you-can-eat buffets can bring them closer. This said, one day I drove the A7 for 600 miles and emerged without a hint of back soreness. So maybe the seats do know what's best for me. Perhaps they could teach a thing or two to the door-mounted arm rest. It's overly firm, and my left elbow did get sore. see full Audi A7 / S7 / RS7 review

2007 Cadillac CTS Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 304-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Ingress is tight, limited legroom. see full Cadillac CTS review
2008	4dr Sedan 304-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The rear seats are a little snug, but bareable. However, if someone is pretty tall they might bump their head on the ceiling. see full Cadillac CTS review
2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.6L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Seats were horrible. Could not find a comfortable position plus the center console along with the key fob hanging from the ignition contacted my leg. My 06 Grand Prix was much more comfortable. see full Cadillac CTS review
2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed manual RWD	Shorter wheelbase can lead to things being a little cramped in the rear. Also, no rear-seat vents for AC/heater! For shame, Cadillac... Audi figured this out long ago. see full Cadillac CTS review
