2009 Kia Spectra Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Hatch 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Very comfortable for prolonged around-town driving, not bad for long trips. Could use adjustable lumbar support, but all other adjustments are very good. The non-sueded cloth is comfortable and durable. see full Kia Spectra review

2010 Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	There is no lumbar support which makes it tough for drives over 2 hours. The seats could be better for its class. I think Subaru remedied this issue in the new body style, however. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review
