Seats are hard and offer little to no support for back or legs. Especially uncomfortable on long car trips. At 24, I should not be haveing back support issues. I have driven long distances in other cars before, not nearly as uncomfortable as the ION. see full Saturn ION review |

Not much rear seat room at all, and very little place to put feet. It had theatre style seating, that sat rear passengers higher than the front. This was great for visibility. However, headroom was not very great. The seats were not supportive. see full Saturn ION review |

2012 | Volkswagen's research must have found that Americans highly value rear legroom, because the Passat has an abundance of it. Unless you're an NBA center you'll have plenty of room to stretch out in the back of this sedan. see full Volkswagen Passat review |
