Roomy rear seat both in terms of legroom, head and shoulder room. Easy to enter and exit, especially when you have a child in a car seat, plenty of room to work around. The split rear seat folds down for extra cargo room if needed. see full Dodge Avenger review |

The headrests are leaned too far forward, pushing my head forward. Could not get a comfortable seating position. I had a headache and my neck hurt after about 10 minutes. It was even worse in the passenger seat. see full Subaru Legacy review |
