2004 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Makes my bad back feel better. Large, supportive seat for large person. Plenty of room to move feet around during trips. Lots of adjustments. see full Volkswagen Passat review |

lateral support! Other features equal. see full Volkswagen Passat review |
2002 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 170hp 1.8L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
It was roomy for me (6 foot plus and 300lbs) and the seat adjusted to over a wide range. The seat and tiller adjusts so everyone in the family has a good position from which to control the car. see full Volkswagen Passat review |

For a while we had two child seats in the back. That can certainly be done in a smaller car, but the room of a midsize car is appreciated. see full Volkswagen Passat review |
