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.

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 SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Since this is our family hauler, it needed to accommodate 5 people, with enough space between 3 kids to keep long trips bearable. Adults can sit comfortably in the third row. see full GMC Acadia review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Have taken this car on long trips, 14 hours of driving, multiple days in a row. The front seats are ok but not very comfortable. It's even tiring for the passenger. see full GMC Acadia review
