2006 Volkswagen Touareg Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr SUV 310-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range	The front seats in a Touareg are on par with the best seats from Mercedes and BMW. My back hates driving long distances, but you can drive this car till your eyes are crossed. Your butt and back never tire from these seats. see full Volkswagen Touareg review
