2016 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 |

Had heard that the seats of the car were amongst the most comfortable and they really are. Not to mention the adaptability to body contour, especially as I am on the bit healthier side. The control panel layout and other gadgets are aesthetically laid out see full Volvo S80 review |
