TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Volkswagen Passat
| 2013 Volkswagen Passat Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 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 | |

| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Even with the front driver and passenger seats move all the way to the back of their tracks and reclined somewhat, there is still plenty of legroom for backseat passengers (even 6 footers). This is really a full size sedan and not a mid-size. see full Honda Accord review |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Front seats offer plenty of range of motion. They are comfortable for extended periods of time. Side bolsters are not too soft, not to rigid. Just right. see full Honda Accord review |

This sedan has the most comfort of any sedan I have been in. Others may have had a little more room like the camry but the accord was more comfortable. I am also 6 foot 4 and plenty of head room. see full Honda Accord review |

| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 177-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Lumbar support is too aggressive, and it is non-adjustable in the LX model. I have gotten used to them, but they are nowhere near the same league as my previously owned Saabs and BMWs. see full Honda Accord review |
