2011 Volkswagen Eos Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	The back seat is not comfortable and has limited leg room. While the latter may be typical of some convertibles, leg room is less than on previous convertibles I have owned. see full Volkswagen Eos review

2006 Toyota Highlander Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr SUV 215-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	Ease of entry and exit and the spacious leg room. see full Toyota Highlander review
