This is honesty the only complaint i have about the 2006 XT. The rear seat is a bit tight. We took three other adults on about a 4 hour trip and it was a tight fit - good thing we're good friends! My wife's 2009 Forester is much better in the rear legroom department. see full Subaru Forester review
2005 4dr SUV 165-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed automatic AWD
Rear seat is just too small, but that has been fixed for the 2009 models. The front seat, actually the cabin of the car is just a bit too narrow. It needs more elbow room. see full Subaru Forester review
2005 4dr SUV 165-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed automatic AWD
Not enough elbow room. see full Subaru Forester review
2005 4dr SUV 165-horsepower 2.5L H4

Rear seat room is a bit tight for larger people. Car seats are a little tight in both rear and forward facing positions. see full Subaru Forester review

YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 2dr Coupe turbocharged 170hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed manual AWD
Not room enough for sufficient leg space for both front and rear passengers at the same time. Rear seat room is tight. Makes you want to avoid having rear passengers in the car. Typical for a 2-door. see full Audi A5 / S5 review
2008 2dr Coupe 265-horsepower 3.2L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Its a coupe. see full Audi A5 / S5 review
