TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Audi A8
| 2012 Audi A8 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| The A8's seats can be adjusted just about every way its possible to adjust a seat. While they do provide proper support, they're firm and don't mold themselves to the human form, at least not mine. They are very good seats, but those in the Jaguar are better and those in the BMW are best of all, both more supportive and more luxurious. see full Audi A8 review | ||

| 2009 Audi A5 / S5 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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 |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 265-horsepower 3.2L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Its a coupe. see full Audi A5 / S5 review |
