2016 Audi TT Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2016 | The new Audi TT's seats rank among the best for support and comfort, something of a surprise since they are in a sports car, not a luxury sedan, and don't have many adjustments. The more powerful, more expensive TTS has front seats with adjustable side bolsters, but these aren't offered in the regular TT. The sport package for the BMW 2 Series includes seats with adjustable bolsters, yet they can't be made to fit my form as well as the Audi's do. Nor can those in larger, more expensive Audis. Puzzling. see full Audi TT review |

Many people will probably leave the rear seat folded, as head room and legroom are both scant. People much over five feet in height simply won't fit. Even a BMW 2 Series has a considerably roomier rear seat. see full Audi TT review |

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 |

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 |
