TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA

2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
The CLA's rear legroom stat, a very low 27.1 inches, suggests that adults won't even fit in back. But this stat under-represents reality. At 5-9, I could just manage to site behind myself. More than the limited amount of room, I minded the highly constricted view out. The coupe-like roof line takes a big cut out of the rear side windows. Unlike in the C-Class, the front seats largely block rear seat passengers' view forward. Suffer from claustrophobia? Best avoid the CLA. But, it's a coupe, so what did you expect? see full Mercedes-Benz CLA review

2008 Audi A5 / S5 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 2dr Coupe turbocharged 170hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed manual AWD
Not room enough for sufficient leg space for both front and rear passengers at the same time. Rear seat room is tight. Makes you want to avoid having rear passengers in the car. Typical for a 2-door. see full Audi A5 / S5 review
2008 2dr Coupe 265-horsepower 3.2L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Its a coupe. see full Audi A5 / S5 review
