2012 Toyota Venza Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Have had many adult passengers in the rear seats - all have commented without prompting on the ample leg room, comfortable seats, and attractiveness of the panoramic glass roof. see full Toyota Venza review

2011 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I am a tall guy with big feet, so my vehicle choices are greatly restricted. The Jetta Sportwagen (Golf Wagon here in Canada) is very comfortable on long drives. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
