I have arthritis and it is great to have a seat that i can lower and slide way back. Not just great - it was important in the purchase decision. . see full Toyota Camry review

The wings are not angled up too steeply for my wide, creaky hips. I still need a two-inch foam insert to see properly and compensate for the lack of OEM padding in the seat, though. see full Toyota Camry review

These seats seem to have been designed for someone 250 pounds. Wide, flat, and no proper support for your back. While this has a lumbar support for the driver, the poor seat design makes this uncomfortable for long trips. see full Toyota Camry review

It could not seat three adults, while the Ford could easily seat three large people, and give them limo-like legroom. see full Toyota Camry review

Quite possibly the most comfortable front seats I have ever sat in. It is as if they were pulled straight from an Audi and placed in the GTI. An added bonus is the heated cloth, which is unusual because usually you need to option cold leather for heat. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review

With only one car, I needed a sporty car with legitimate rear seat room and an automatic for the other users. I have had 2 6ft passengers in the back seat without complaint. The cushion could use a little more height/angle to aid in leg support. Nitpickin see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review

It works fine for me, but if you have adults that use the rear seat often they may find it a little uncomfortable for long trips. The legroom is decent, but the seats are a bit hard and not all that ergonomic. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Rabbit / GTI review
