TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Volkswagen Passat

2013 Volkswagen Passat Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2012 Volkswagen's research must have found that Americans highly value rear legroom, because the Passat has an abundance of it. Unless you're an NBA center you'll have plenty of room to stretch out in the back of this sedan. see full Volkswagen Passat review
