Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Sedan 328-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I like the seats in this car a lot. The bolsters feel well placed and keep you from moving around too much when cornering with enthusiasm, and they're comfortable to sit in overall. see full Infiniti G review

2008 Volkswagen Passat Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Passat provided more interior space especially in the rear than the Audi A4 see full Volkswagen Passat review
2008	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Extremely comfortable front drivers seat w/ 12 way electronic adjustment. Able to find perfect driving position. Very little fatigue even after 12 - 14 hours of driving (taking breaks for food / gas of course). Lumbar adjusts both up/down and in/out. see full Volkswagen Passat review
2008	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Lots of rear legroom and space for car seats. see full Volkswagen Passat review
2008	4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Compared to other sporty wagons (BMW, Subaru) the Passat has about 3" more rear leg room - enough to put my full-size parents and/or friends in the back seat without making them do contortions. Easier to get a child in and out of a rear safety seat, too. see full Volkswagen Passat review
2008	4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	This version of the Passat can easily fit 3 across seating in the rear see full Volkswagen Passat review
