2006 Scion xB Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Full sized adults fit well in the rear seat. 2 of them. see full Scion xB review
2006	4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	This car is like an optical illusion - it's SOOO much bigger on the inside than it seems like from the outside! Riding in it feels more like riding in a minivan than a car. My husband is over 6' tall, and he can sit comfortably in the driver's seat with plenty of room above his head. At the same time, my son (also over 6' tall) can sit comfortably behind him with plenty of room for his knees. When my kids were younger, we fit three of them in the back, and often went on long trips (5-6 hrs in the car) with no problems. Our luggage even fit in the back! see full Scion xB review
2006	4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	It is so comfortable for tall people, with plenty of legroon. see full Scion xB review
2006	4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	More rear legroom than a BMW 7 series !!! Tall people are more than comfortable in the back seat see full Scion xB review
2006	4dr Hatch 103-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Gigantic rear seats. 6+ foot tall passengers can seat in the back without their knees touching the front seatbacks. Cargo capacity is also most impressive for such compact exterior dimensions. see full Scion xB review
2005	4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The seats are very comfortable for a vehicle as inexpensive as this. see full Scion xB review
2005	4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	There is tons of room in this car! It almost seems bigger on the inside than the car is on the outside. see full Scion xB review
2005	4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	I have 3 kids, ages 15, 13, and 7, and they have all kinds of leg room in the back seat of this car. It's almost as much as a minivan. All 3 can ride comfortably in the back for up to an hour or so. Another 2 inches or so of width would make it ideal, even for longer trips. see full Scion xB review
2005	4dr Hatch 108-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD	There is enough room in the rear seat for two large men to sit comfortably or, in my case, two car seats for my children. see full Scion xB review

2022 Subaru Legacy Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2021	4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.4L H4 8-speed shiftable CVT AWD	Front seats are softly padded in a way that is uncommon in modern vehicles. Driver's seat adjustments are above average, as there is an adjustable thigh support. Passenger seats lack lumbar adjustment and thigh support extensions, but have full 8-way power including seat-bottom tilt and height adjustment. --- Some drivers complain the lumbar support is intrusive, while others complain it's too subtle. Remember to sit in a seat and get a feel for yourself, as it is very subjective. --- The driver's seat has the option of a facial recognition system that is fairly reliable if used correctly and a useful feature that is not common in other cars. Memory buttons remain on the door for those that prefer them. --- The details that count: According to the owner's manual, the facial recognition system's software is open-source and data remains in the vehicle. --- see full Subaru Legacy review

2022 Subaru Legacy Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

2021	4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.4L H4 8-speed shiftable CVT AWD	The Mazda6 has a smaller rear seat, no way around it. That being said, I find it to be more richly appointed than the Legacy's with the same great materials as up-front and cool touches: the USB ports are in the center armrest with a covered storage cubby, and the rear seat heaters are 3-level with controls in the armrest. These touches are reminiscent of very high-end luxury cars and are more convenient locations in general. The Mazda's heated rear seats also seem to be stronger than the Legacy's. --- The seats follow the same theme as the front in both cars- softer/plusher in the Legacy, firmer but well shaped in the Mazda. --- The front seat-backs are more upscale in the Mazda, and the rear seat of the Mazda has ambient lighting in the door pockets (unlike the Legacy). Overall, the rear cabin of the Mazda is snugger but remains comfortable while carrying on the quality and elegance of the front. For space though, the Legacy still grabs a Win here. see full Subaru Legacy review
