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

2006 Honda S2000 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2005	2dr Convertible 240-horsepower 2.2L I4 6-speed manual RWD	Seats are aggressively bolstered, but fit very comfortably. I am a 6 foot tall slightly overweight male. The seat adjusts adequately to my height, unlike several other convertibles I have driven. see full Honda S2000 review
2005	2dr Convertible 240-horsepower 2.2L I4 6-speed manual RWD	Fits taller people than other roadsters I have tried. Probably comparable with modern BMW Z4 but I did not try that. see full Honda S2000 review

2007	2dr Convertible 237-horsepower 2.2L I4 6-speed manual RWD	Seat feels hard and is difficult to get adjusted properly. see full Honda S2000 review
2006	2dr Convertible 237-horsepower 2.2L I4 6-speed manual RWD	this car is engineered for speed, no wasted space.front quarters are cramped as one would expect with a roadster see full Honda S2000 review
2005	2dr Convertible 240-horsepower 2.2L I4 6-speed manual RWD	I'm 6' tall with a 33" inseam, 149 lbs, 30" waist. I fit exactly in every direction. The hip width of the seats is exactly mine, the seat is all the way back, and the back is ever so slightly tipped upwards from full back. Comfortable but see full Honda S2000 review
2005	2dr Convertible 240-horsepower 2.2L I4 6-speed manual RWD	I'm 5' 9" and 185# and of average frame proportions. The seat bolsters are Proportioned for the Asian torso. So, the average-to-large European butt isn't going to appreciate the tight seat bolsters. This is why the bolsters quickly break down and need re-padding with firm foam. see full Honda S2000 review
