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 |

This is honesty the only complaint i have about the 2006 XT. The rear seat is a bit tight. We took three other adults on about a 4 hour trip and it was a tight fit - good thing we're good friends! My wife's 2009 Forester is much better in the rear legroom department. see full Subaru Forester review |
