2012 | Another surprising strength for the new BMW 3-Series. There's more room in back than in competing cars, and the seat is comfortably positioned and shaped. see full BMW 3-Series review |

2021 Subaru Crosstrek Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2021 | The Subaru Impreza has a roomier and more comfortable rear seat than most compact hatchbacks. But in Crosstrek form the competition becomes small crossovers, and the rear seat in the Kia Seltos and some others is about equally roomy. A couple of adults should be comfortable back there. see full Subaru Crosstrek review |
