2017 Subaru WRX Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||

2016 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 268hp 2.0L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
Anyone whose owned a previous-gen WRX knows rear seat space, especially leg room, as "OK" at best. Subaru has revised the rear seats to where there is now more leg room for the lucky passengers in the rear. With the driver seat adjusted to how I sit (I'm 6-feet tall and have a more upright seating position), there is about 1.5 inches of space between my knees and the driver seat back (vs. no space on the previous gen!). Comfort is pretty good, although the seats take on more of a lean on the seat back, which may/may not jive well with your passengers backs. see full Subaru WRX review |

2010 | 4dr Hatch 150-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual 4WD |
Very little room for driver and passengers. Driver is almost touching windshield by a forehead. A small leg room too especially for driver and rear passengers. see full Suzuki SX4 review |

I will say the rear seat was fairly comfortable although my hair was brushing up against the ceiling. Impossible to put 4 people in this car comfortably. see full Suzuki SX4 review |
