2007	4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Extremely comfortable and supportive. air-cooled seat option is great in the summer.

2021 Subaru Crosstrek Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2021	The Subaru Impreza has a roomier and more comfortable rear seat than most compact hatchbacks. But in Crosstrek form the competition becomes small crossovers, and the rear seat in the Kia Seltos and some others is about equally roomy. A couple of adults should be comfortable back there. see full Subaru Crosstrek review
