Anyone who has owned a Mustang converatble wll undestand the issues with rear seats in this car. I keep the seat backs down and drive as a two seater. Also Some may find not enough storage bins and cup holders are a tad back for those of us who have shorter legs. But not a deal breaker. see full Infiniti EX review |

In agreement with 99% of all other reviews...back seat is a little small but it isn't to say that you cannot sit back there. Taller people may be a little cramped with head and legroom depending on how far back the front seat is positioned see full Infiniti EX review |

The back seat is small, not a problem for my wife and I, it works just fine for our limited use. see full Infiniti EX review |

The rear seat is pretty tight on this car. It is not really meant to haul around families as much as empty nesters or women that need some extra room in the trunk. I'm 5'10 and can barely fit in the back seat if the front seat is positioned for someone of my height. see full Infiniti EX review |

2018 Audi Q7 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
Now that the Audi Q7's price and styling have been given their due, my other "why nots" are much less clear cut. You sit SUV-high in the new Audi Q7, even higher (if memory serves) than in the Volvo, and certainly higher than in the relatively car-like Acura. While the commanding view over traffic will appeal to many drivers, they're less likely to enjoy the Q7's high floor. The step up won't be an easy one for shorter or older drivers. They'll want running boards. For such a beamy vehicle, with about two inches more shoulder room than in the far-from-narrow Volvo XC90, the Audi Q7 has unexpectedly little stretch out room in the front seats. The culprit: an unusually high and wide center console. The XC90, with a much narrower and lower console, feels roomier--but not as sporty. see full Audi Q7 review |
