What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2016 Subaru BRZ

2016 Subaru BRZ Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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.

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Volvo V50

2011 Volvo V50 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr Sedan turbocharged 113hp 1.6L I4 Diesel
6-speed manual FWD
Rear seat is slightly hampered by limited head/leg/sideways room, but for normal sized persons the seat is fantastic for two with splending leg and back support. Car is also very silent, making long drives a pleasure. see full Volvo V50 review
2010 4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.4L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Lots of front seat room. Good dash design accommodates tall passengers with rear facing car seat behind. Seat was vertically adjustable providing lots of hear room. see full Volvo V50 review
