2011 Subaru Forester Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	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
