2017 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

2017 Audi TT Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	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

2009 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Much better sized for me. My prior 2007 three series BMW was too small and cramped. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review
2008	4dr Sedan turbocharged 210hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Can spend all day driving this car and not be exhausted. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review
2008	4dr Sedan 382-horsepower 5.5L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The most comfortable seats among all its rivals including Lexus, Jaguar, BMW, Audi, and Infiniti. Plenty of adjustments in the seat and the telescoping steering wheel. Plenty of front seat room for people 6 foot tall and more. Provides ample support. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review
2008	4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Driving 4-5 hours in a row left no fatigue or discomfort in my back or legs. The seats are just firm enough but very supportive where they need to be. see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review

2009 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 382-horsepower 5.5L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The back seat is very comfortable and provides good headroom and seating support. They fold down to provide additional storage room. My complaint is that it is not S class roomy in the back. Leg and foot room can be limited if sitting behind a tall driver see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review
