I know it is a smaller sedan, but even with the front seats shoved up to that your knees are in the dashboard, that leaves just enough room for an average human in back. Under normal front seat conditions, crushed knees in back. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 230hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD |
Seats are very large and not built for comfort for a thinner person. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review |

The rear seat leg room is too small for American sized adults. A little more room would have made this car a lot more livable when family comes to town. This may be THE reason why I upgrade to a midsize car once this car dies. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review |
