2014 Hyundai Sonata Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2015	According to the spec sheets, the Ford Fusion has nearly as much combined legroom as the new Sonata, which has an inch more than the old Sonata. But Ford cheats the specs. In reality, the Hyundai's rear seat has a few more inches of rear legroom than the Ford's, and about as much as you'll find in any competitor. Rear headroom is in shorter supply, but (again as in most competitors) should be sufficient for people up to six feet in height. The rear seat cushion is a little too low and level to provide optimal thigh support, but the space to stretch out largely compensates for this. You can get rear air vents to help cool this roomy rear seat, but only on the Limited and Sport 2.0T. see full Hyundai Sonata review

2013	4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The front driver seat is supportive yet firm and the power adjustments guarantee you'll get the right driving position for you. The heated seat feature is great on a cold morning too. see full Hyundai Sonata review

2013	4dr Sedan 198-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Ride is comfortable but after about 2 or 3 hours, the leather seats get a bit hard on the butt. see full Hyundai Sonata review

2007 Audi A3 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	Really just a 4 place vehicle...3 across in the rear is not comfortably possible. see full Audi A3 review
2008	4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	Slightly too close to each other in arm room. see full Audi A3 review
2007	4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	Due to the position of the doors it is hard to get in and out of the car. see full Audi A3 review
2007	4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	The back seat is too small for most adults. I hadn't thought about it much when I bought the car, but it became apparent. I'd take friends to lunch and they are uncomfortable.Even ifa personplans on sitting small children in the back, they grow and the useful life of the car is affected. I wish the Europeans would figure that out. see full Audi A3 review
2006	4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	The Subaru has a more comfortable and roomy back seat, with easier ingress/egress. see full Audi A3 review
