What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Volvo V50
| 2011 Volvo V50 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 113hp 1.6L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual FWD |
Rear seat is slightly hampered by limited head/leg/sideways room, but for normal sized persons the seat is fantastic for two with splending leg and back support. Car is also very silent, making long drives a pleasure. see full Volvo V50 review |
| 2010 | 4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.4L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Lots of front seat room. Good dash design accommodates tall passengers with rear facing car seat behind. Seat was vertically adjustable providing lots of hear room. see full Volvo V50 review |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta
| 2011 Volkswagen Jetta Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD |
This vehicle was intended to be the "Mommy Mobile". My wife also likes to drive most of the time in "Her Car". I am 6 ft 205 lb; with my 22 month old daughter in a forward facing car seat, I feel I have to pull my seat some what forward to allow her room. This makes my knees kinda touch the glove box. It really only is a problem if shes is fussy, and does not want anything near her. (Instead of hearing her fuss I move it....sometimes.) see full Volkswagen Jetta review |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 115-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
While the Jetta is extremely roomy and comfortable, the center console is slightly too close and can interfere with the driver's right knee and calf. see full Volkswagen Jetta review |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD |
The rear seat is a little small but compared to other compact cars it is not bad, Still cramped if your over 6 feet. see full Volkswagen Jetta review |
