2006 Volkswagen Touareg Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2006 | 4dr SUV 310-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range |
The front seats in a Touareg are on par with the best seats from Mercedes and BMW. My back hates driving long distances, but you can drive this car till your eyes are crossed. Your butt and back never tire from these seats. see full Volkswagen Touareg review |

2012 | 4dr Sedan 198-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Have the Limited with leather heated seats. They are not as comfortable as expected. The seat bolsters are a little tight for my back side. see full Hyundai Sonata review |
2011 | 4dr Sedan 198-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
uncomfortable - back pain see full Hyundai Sonata review |
2011 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Although adequate, long drives with more than two people in the car would be cramped. see full Hyundai Sonata review |
