TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Volkswagen Passat

2013 Volkswagen Passat Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
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

I'm over 6' tall with long legs, and I have plenty of room. I can sit in the rear seat after I set the driver's seat at a comfortable position, as well. I wish the lower cushion height/angle could be adjusted, but still very comfortable. see full Nissan Rogue review

holds my three young kids comfortably, like the flat foot room. I don't like the front seats, I find them too flat and I don't like that they dont tilt back like my TSX see full Nissan Rogue review

Not great, not awful. Compared to my previous BMW 535i, it's awful, but for the class of vehicle it's OK for shorter distances, which is mostly what I use it for. see full Nissan Rogue review

Picked up one of my fat friends while on the test ride and had him ride in the back. Him and his wife were very comfortable. Lots of leg and foot room. see full Nissan Rogue review
