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 | |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 2dr Convertible 158-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
No rear seat. see full Mazda MX-5 Miata review |
| 2007 | 2dr Convertible 166-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual RWD |
It's OK for the driver, but there's not much room for the feet of the passenger. see full Mazda MX-5 Miata review |
