What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Volkswagen Eos
| 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 |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 Volkswagen Passat
| 2008 Volkswagen Passat Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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 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 |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Lots of rear legroom and space for car seats. 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 Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
This version of the Passat can easily fit 3 across seating in the rear see full Volkswagen Passat review |

More than large enough for American size bodies! see full Volkswagen Passat review |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Well bolstered seat, best seat heaters I ever had (have had Land Rovers and own a SAAB). see full Volkswagen Passat review |
| 2007 | 4dr Wagon 280-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
