2009 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD
This car has a very small back seat. If you want to carry passengers for a long distance, get an E class. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review
2009 4dr Sedan 228-horsepower 3.0L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD
Mercedes-Benz makes the best seats in the business, period. Even after a 10 hour drive, my back did not hurt. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review
2009 4dr Sedan 228-horsepower 3.0L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD
The seat causes no discomfort to my tailbone like many ohter cars. Furthermore, the padding is firm and feels like it will last a long time. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review

2009 4dr Sedan supercharged 181hp 1.8L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD
Not much leg room when compared to other luxury entries. No flat floor so a 3rd passenger in the rear is not possible. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review

Center console and stack cut into front side leg room, my left leg is always up against the center console. see full Mercedes-Benz C-Class review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2018 Audi A4 / S4

2018 Audi A4 / S4 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2017 Before the 2009 model year redesign, the Audi A4's back seat was too tight for adults of more than average size, and marginal even for these. With the 2017 the back seat has grown yet again. Not only this, but the cushion is higher off the floor than in previous A4s or in competitors, such that it's now the most comfortable in the class. This said, the rear doors could open more widely, such that I struggled to get a decent photo of the rear seat. Since its 2014 model year redesign the Lexus IS has had a passably roomy rear seat, but it can't match the Audi's for comfort. see full Audi A4 / S4 review
2018 Audi A4 / S4 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
Pressed to come up with another con, I might offer the front seats. There's nothing bad about them. There's just nothing outstanding about them, either. Those in the sport-trim Lexus provide more lateral support and feel more comfortable to me. (With seats personal impressions are bound to vary, so definitely evaluate them yourself.) see full Audi A4 / S4 review
