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 |

It is fantastic. You can ride for hundreds of miles a day and not get sore at all. My bad back loves it. Hyundai should start making home furniture. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review |
