2007	4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	No thigh or lumbar support, seats hrad, minimal leg room for front passenger see full Subaru Forester review
2007	4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	Not acceptable for an adult in any of the three rear seating positions see full Subaru Forester review
2006	4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	Again, cramped and too small for larger people. see full Subaru Forester review
2006	4dr SUV turbocharged 230hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	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 4-speed automatic AWD	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
