What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLK
2005 |
2dr Hardtop conv. |
Ample leg room and headroom - up to about 6ft 5 is fine
I'm 6ft3 and with the roof off I don't get too ruffled unless I go over about 85 mph
Lots of other things to like (and the running costs arent too horrendous) but I'm limiting myself to my top three

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta
2013 |
The Jetta is a little longer than the ILX (182 vs. 179 inches), and all of the additional inches appear to have gone into the rear seat. While the average adult will barely fit into the back seat of the Acura (those over 5-9 will be on close terms with the headliner), the Jetta has significantly more rear headroom and more rear legroom than the average midsize sedan, much less the average compact. If you like a roomy rear seat, you'll love the Jetta.
Room is one thing, comfort another. The rear seat feels overly hard, and neither the cushion nor the backrest was set at a comfortable angle for me. Clearly some German engineer found these angles optimal, though. So maybe it's just me.
