2011 4dr SUV turbocharged 188hp 1.6L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
If there are leggy people in the front the room in the back goes to almost non-existant. The head room is limited for taller people as well. see full Nissan JUKE review
2011 4dr SUV turbocharged 188hp 1.6L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
The back seat is useless for adults. At 6' tall I couldn't sit in the back because my head would hit the roof. see full Nissan JUKE review
2011 4dr SUV turbocharged 188hp 1.6L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
The front seats are great for short trips, but found them rather hard and uncomfortable for longer trips. Not usually a problem as you have to stop every two hundred miles to fill it up again. see full Nissan JUKE review

The rear seat room is generous. see full Subaru Forester review
2010 4dr SUV turbocharged 224hp 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD
leather seat "baquet" has very good lateral control, but leather is slippery on braking see full Subaru Forester review
2010 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Enough room to feel comfortable, even at 6 feet tall. The fact that the Premium Trim package allows rear seats to recline a bit helps a lot as well. see full Subaru Forester review
