TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Volkswagen Passat

2015 Volkswagen Passat Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
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

2016 Mazda CX-5 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	There's enough room for four adults inside the Mazda CX-5. But the Honda CR-V and some others are considerably roomier. Want an occasional third-row seat? While Nissan and Volkswagen offer one in their compact crossovers, Mazda does not. see full Mazda CX-5 review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2015	4dr SUV 184-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Soon after I bought the Mazda, I did an 8 hour trip in it. I found the seat comfort to be most satisfactory. I had no trouble finding a comfortable driving position using the power seat, and, the lumbar support. see full Mazda CX-5 review
