What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2018 Subaru BRZ

2018 Subaru BRZ Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2017	2dr Coupe 205-horsepower 2.0L H4 6-speed manual RWD	The seat heaters are an absolute joke. We thought they were broken. No, they're just terrible. If you live in regular -10c weather you will want a a plug-in seat warmer. The seats themselves are fantastic for driving. Driver's seat does not slide forward when you move the seatback to access the back seat. Seems fine, who wants to reset their seat position every time. The passenger seat does get loose when you pop the seat back up, but the chair slides around loose and left to gravity, will sit at the rearmost spot. Might be nice if it could sit in a divot at the full frontmost position. see full Subaru BRZ review
