TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Volkswagen Passat
| 2014 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 | |

SEL Premium seating is fantastic. Definitely worth the cost of the upgrade over the mid-grade seats. see full Volkswagen Passat review |

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Scion FR-S
| 2013 Scion FR-S Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2013 | Unlike a Mazda Miata or Nissan 370Z, the FR-S has a rear seat. But even a driver of middling height will position the front seat just inches away from the rear seat, leaving too little room for a rear passenger's legs. It would help if there was enough space beneath the front seats for the rear passengers' feet, but there isn't. To even carry children in the back, occupants of the front seats must slide forward. The back seat will serve in a pinch, but the FR-S isn't viable for frequent use by four people. The late, lamented Mazda RX-8 was capable of carrying four adults thanks more intelligent packaging. see full Scion FR-S review | |

| 2013 | 2dr Coupe 200-horsepower 2.0L H4 6-speed manual RWD |
Although form-fitting, the seats are incredibly comfortable, even for the big and tall crowd. The car fits like a bespoke suit. The back seat is suitable only for toddlers. see full Scion FR-S review |

Again, if your metric includes back seats, forget it. These are only here for insurance purposes. Seriously. see full Scion FR-S review |

If you are a larger person walk right by it, i'm only slightly above average (5-11, 190) and just wearing a coat can make for a tight fit. But if you do fit you can drive it for hours no problem. see full Scion FR-S review |
