2007	4dr Sedan 234-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Other sedans I have owned always left something to be desired in the back seat. Not the Sonata.

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
