| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2005 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 225hp 1.8L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
The rear seat is not designed for adults over 5 feet tall. Which means unless you have kids its just more storage space. see full Audi TT review |

| 2006 Mercedes-Benz M-Class Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 5.0L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range |
Space is limited for adults in the back espically if the front passenger is tall. Seats are not bucket like the front so if driver takes a hard turn you go flying. see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review |
