I know it is a smaller sedan, but even with the front seats shoved up to that your knees are in the dashboard, that leaves just enough room for an average human in back. Under normal front seat conditions, crushed knees in back. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review

2007 Audi A3 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

2008 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4

2007 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD
The back seat is too small for most adults. I hadn't thought about it much when I bought the car, but it became apparent. I'd take friends to lunch and they are uncomfortable.Even ifa personplans on sitting small children in the back, they grow and the useful life of the car is affected. I wish the Europeans would figure that out. see full Audi A3 review
2006 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD
The Subaru has a more comfortable and roomy back seat, with easier ingress/egress. see full Audi A3 review
