TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2016 Volkswagen Passat

2016 Volkswagen Passat Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2015 The Passat's top strength remains a non-sporting attribute: never mind how the specs compare, the midsize Volkswagen has the roomiest interior in its class. Rear seat legroom seems limo-like compared to the merely adequate space inside the Mazda. Up front, there's also plenty of stretch-out space for heads, shoulders, and knees. The Passat's trunk is also among the largest, though in this area the Mazda comes up only a cubic foot short. see full Volkswagen Passat review
