What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan
2013
4dr SUV turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Outstanding. I'm 6'0 & only have the seat 1/2 way back. Lots of front & rear seat room.

2009 Toyota Avalon Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year Body/Powertrain Comment
2009
4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Seats are too short. Toyota seats are generally not comfortable, but for a car in this price range I would have expected better.
