Mulii adjustable power seat with very soft leather. The side support could be a bit better. I loved the soport seats but they are only offered on the V6 model which is much more thirsty. see full Saab 9-3 review |

not bad for a convertible but if you regularly have more than 2 passengers rear seat is tight to get in and out with top up. see full Saab 9-3 review |

Rear seat legroom is a little tight, but headroom is more than sufficient. Seats in general are very comfortable. see full Saab 9-3 review |

| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 420-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed manual AWD |
Rear seats seem very cramped for leg room. I've never used them, but have only ever dared to take adults on short trips in the back. Heated seats are available for the rear passengers. see full Audi A4 / S4 review |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed manual AWD |
Depending on how tall your front passengers are, your rear passengers may not have any room to sit. Can fit 4 average sized adults, but it will be tight. see full Audi A4 / S4 review |

The rear seat is adequate, but not large. Child seat fits fine, but my son can kick the back of the front seat. see full Audi A4 / S4 review |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The rear seat is too small for adults on long trips (over an hour). And the rear seat can only hold 2 people even for short trips. see full Audi A4 / S4 review |
