2012 Subaru Legacy Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
2012	4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	Wide rear door openings make ingress & egress from back seat very easy. Commodious rear seat room. see full Subaru Legacy review
