YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr Sedan turbocharged 270hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Major seven hour trip in total comfort for both of us. Not one ache or pain or "I gotta get out of this car" see full Buick Regal review
2012 Buick Regal Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr Sedan turbocharged 270hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Since the car came from Opel (EU), it is naturally made for smaller fold. The rear is comfortable, just a little lacking in legroom at times. see full Buick Regal review
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Subaru Forester

2011 Subaru Forester Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 The rear seat room is generous. see full Subaru Forester review
2010 4dr SUV turbocharged 224hp 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 leather seat "baquet" has very good lateral control, but leather is slippery on braking see full Subaru Forester review
2010 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Enough room to feel comfortable, even at 6 feet tall. The fact that the Premium Trim package allows rear seats to recline a bit helps a lot as well. see full Subaru Forester review
