Excellent seats and comfort, however occasionally find the seats a bit narrow and the foot well can be tight in some shoes. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI review |

The sport seats in the basic black leatherette are nicely bolstered though not overly enveloping like seats in my FR-S. This means it hits a nice middle ground of comfort but still keeping you from being thrown around in aggressive driving. The manually adjusted seats are easily positioned to a comfortable state after you figure out which of the 4 levers is doing what. The adjustible thigh support is especially nice and not something I often see in this segment. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI review |

Seats could be firmer though adequate. It has no lumbar support and expended use probably will change the shape of the foam used in the seat. see full Volkswagen Jetta / Golf / GTI review |

it is very comfortable during short trips or long drives. The seat can be adjusted many ways as well as the wheel. The controls are all in reach and easy to use. The dash is not too high nor to low. The car is very easy to see out of while driving. see full Jaguar X-Type review |

Well I am a taller person so when i have the drivers seat in my driving position there is virtually no room behind me so that makes the rear seat worthless for just about any person. see full Jaguar X-Type review |
