2015 Buick Verano Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr Sedan 180-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I'm 6'3. With the seat all the way back I can't reach the pedals. I really don't need to say more. see full Buick Verano review

2015 Buick Verano Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr Sedan 180-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	If you're tall, prepare for cramping if you have anyone needing to sit behind you. I cannot explain the lack of room here. With my seat in my long range riding position (as far back as I can go with my feet still reaching the pedals) there is 1 and a half inches between the edge of the back seat and the kneeboard on the back of the drivers seat. There is no human capable of putting their leg behind that. see full Buick Verano review

2014 Subaru Legacy Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2015	Along with the Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, and Volkswagen Passat, the Subaru Legacy has one of the roomiest rear seats in the segment. Rear seat passengers have a couple inches less knee room in the Ford Fusion. The rear seats in the Chrysler and Buick are tighter still. This said, especially with the optional sunroof rear seat headroom is somewhat limited. People taller than six feet might come into contact with the headliner. The top trim level includes rear air vents. see full Subaru Legacy review

2014 Subaru Legacy Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	The front seats have an unusually high bulge just below my shoulder blades. This feels more odd than uncomfortable, at least to me. Partly depending on your height your experience might vary. These seats also provide very little lateral support, which admittedly isn't much of an issue given the limited grippiness of the tires. I had no such qualms with the armrest on the door. It's wide and cushy. In the front seats' favor, for 2015 Subaru has added fore-aft adjustability to the headrests, a rarity in recent moderately priced cars. see full Subaru Legacy review

2014 Subaru Legacy Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr Sedan 173-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	Both front and rear seat room are very good. see full Subaru Legacy review
2013	0	I had two tall passengers with me - even with the front seat pushed back to accomodate for height (6'4" guy and 5'10" woman), they said the backseat room was quite decent and no complaints on our hour+ long drive. The cloth seats are well padded and the fabirc was breathable - cool for summer and insulating for winter. see full Subaru Legacy review
