TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta
| 2013 Volkswagen Jetta Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2013 | The Jetta is a little longer than the ILX (182 vs. 179 inches), and all of the additional inches appear to have gone into the rear seat. While the average adult will barely fit into the back seat of the Acura (those over 5-9 will be on close terms with the headliner), the Jetta has significantly more rear headroom and more rear legroom than the average midsize sedan, much less the average compact. If you like a roomy rear seat, you'll love the Jetta. Room is one thing, comfort another. The rear seat feels overly hard, and neither the cushion nor the backrest was set at a comfortable angle for me. Clearly some German engineer found these angles optimal, though. So maybe it's just me. see full Volkswagen Jetta review | |

Rear seat was a bit tight for adults, in hindsight we should have bought the Accord. see full Honda Civic review |
