TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2016 Volkswagen Passat

2016 Volkswagen Passat Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2015 The Passat's top strength remains a non-sporting attribute: never mind how the specs compare, the midsize Volkswagen has the roomiest interior in its class. Rear seat legroom seems limo-like compared to the merely adequate space inside the Mazda. Up front, there's also plenty of stretch-out space for heads, shoulders, and knees. The Passat's trunk is also among the largest, though in this area the Mazda comes up only a cubic foot short. see full Volkswagen Passat review

2006 4dr Sedan 153-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD
Seats are above average in comfort. see full Ford Taurus review

Front seat room is above average. see full Ford Taurus review
2005 4dr Wagon 153-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD
We chose this wagon initially because it was the only sedan we could find that fit 2 carseats and an adult, or 3 carseats comfortably in the rear seat. Also, the two additional seats in the cargo area are nice if there are more kids along. see full Ford Taurus review

Great for long drives, lots of little "smart" features. see full Ford Taurus review
