| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
The caravan style arm rests are ugly but extremely comfortable. see full Honda CR-V review |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Very comfortable to enter and exit. Very comfortable to sit in for long trips. see full Honda CR-V review |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Looking for familly smallish SUV and our other option was a RAV-4, the CR-V felt like it had better hip and leg room in the rear. see full Honda CR-V review |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 180-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
Could not find a comfortable position, even with a power seat. see full Honda CR-V review |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Roomy enough, but materials feel cheap. Bench is very thin and hard on long trip. Good leg room, but overall not as nicely done as the VW Tiguan. see full Honda CR-V review |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
Seats need another couple of inches of depth to provide anyone over six feet tall with proper thigh support. A little on the firm side after a couple of hours. Could also be improved with better lateral support. Not a deal breaker unless you expect a Volvo type lounger. see full Honda CR-V review |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic AWD |
In typical Japanese Small Car fashion, the front seats have very little thigh support for a 5ft 10inch person. The back support and position can be quite painful over 500 or more miles. This marred the ownership experience see full Honda CR-V review |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Headrest could not be adjusted comfortably. see full Honda CR-V review |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Subaru Legacy
| 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 |
