| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
not enough leg room see full Toyota 4Runner review |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
This is a vehicle designed for people 5 fett 11 inches and under - no two ways about it. If you are 5 feel 11 or over you will not enjoy this truck. see full Toyota 4Runner review |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
The consequence of reducing overall height while maintaining trail worthy obstacle clearance is a relatively low to floor seating position more attune to sedans. Seats are comfortable though even for a big framed person. see full Toyota 4Runner review |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Seat position low to floor leaves you sitting with a knee high position. Seats itself are comfortable, but there is no space for your feet under the front seats. All floor surfaces are almost flat though considering it truck roots. see full Toyota 4Runner review |

Not a power seat. Cannot get it into an optimum adjustment. see full Toyota 4Runner review |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |

Lots of rear legroom and space for car seats. see full Volkswagen Passat review |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Passat provided more interior space especially in the rear than the Audi A4 see full Volkswagen Passat review |
| 2008 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Compared to other sporty wagons (BMW, Subaru) the Passat has about 3" more rear leg room - enough to put my full-size parents and/or friends in the back seat without making them do contortions. Easier to get a child in and out of a rear safety seat, too. see full Volkswagen Passat review |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Extremely comfortable front drivers seat w/ 12 way electronic adjustment. Able to find perfect driving position. Very little fatigue even after 12 - 14 hours of driving (taking breaks for food / gas of course). Lumbar adjusts both up/down and in/out. see full Volkswagen Passat review |
