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

2007 BMW 5-Series Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The sport seats offer exceptional levels of adjustment. I especially like the extendable leg support and the tilt of the upper back. The lumbar in the sport seats adjusts in up and down as well. see full BMW 5-Series review
2008	4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The comfort seat option is to die for. There is NO production automobile mfg that produces a seat that comfortable. see full BMW 5-Series review
2008	4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	At 6-foot-6, I have enough legroom. see full BMW 5-Series review

2007 BMW 5-Series Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 360-horsepower 4.8L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	A little tight in the rear, but it is a mid-size sedan. see full BMW 5-Series review
2007	4dr Sedan 360-horsepower 4.8L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	I cannot sit behind me. see full BMW 5-Series review
2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I'm 5' 9" and the front seat room semed cavernous to me. I once had a 6' 5" passenger in the front seat who voiced no complaint. 10. see full BMW 5-Series review
2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	My car did not have either the sports seats nor the comfort seats, both of which I tried and found superior; significantly so. The 'base' seats in my car were not the best seats I've ever had in a car although in fairness, they did not punish my lower back as once did the seats in my Infiniti G35x. They were adequate; more an ally than a foe. They also lacked meaningful thigh or side bolsters and so were clearly the choice of Buick-minded buyers, and so did not invite spirited driving. I score thm a 6. see full BMW 5-Series review
