What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2018 Subaru Forester
| 2018 Subaru Forester Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2017 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 250hp 2.0L H4 8-speed shiftable CVT AWD |
- Terrible front seat support - The cushions are too short - It's not noticeable on a test drive right away. I would not have bought the car! Test drive extensively! - Surfaces where your elbows would lay are too hard - I purchased foam pads to make it feel better. - Tall drivers like myself will struggle with the telescoping wheel's short extension range. - It is hard to get into a fully comfortable driving position. The memory seats in the XT help somewhat by retaining your seat settings if moved. - Front seat cushions are too short - Yes I said this twice - Front seat cushions are too short - Yes I said this THREE times! Subaru are you listening? The front seat cushions are WAY TOO SHORT! see full Subaru Forester review |

Very roomy, we have had 6 adults (total) in the car many times, even the third row passengers are comfortable, with the exception of possibly leg room if you are tall. But in no way do you feel squished. see full Buick Enclave review |
