2018 Audi TT Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
I really liked the seats in the Audi TT I reviewed a couple of years ago. Somehow I liked those in the TT RS less, even though they appear to be the same seats, just with additional adjustments. This time around the bolsters didn't provide much lateral support to my lower torso, yet felt too close together higher up even when adjusted all of the way out. I don't think I've grown significantly wider. Adding adjustable bolsters to the seats might have made them fit me worse than the fixed bolsters of the earlier seat. Your experience might vary. The tested Porsche 718 Cayman S was fitted with the base seats. As such they had few adjustments and provided only a modest amount of lateral support, but were reasonably comfortable. Three optional seats have larger side bolsters, more adjustments, or both. The BMW M2's front seats, with adjustable bolsters, deliver very good if not outstanding support and comfort. And back seats? Adults of average height can squeeze into the BMW's in a pinch. Folks under five-foot-six might do the same in the Audi's if those up front don't have their seats all the way back. The Porsche has no rear seats. see full Audi TT review |

Tons of headroom. My daughter has lots of visibility in the back while in her car seat. Full size adults can sit back there in comfort. see full Kia Soul review |

Lots of head, hip, knee, and foot room. The cushions seem to get less comfortable after a solid 2-3 hours driving. But, at least around town, this is one car in which you can ask friends to sit in the back without being ashamed. see full Kia Soul review |
