2011 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L H4

The rear seat room is generous. see full Subaru Forester review
2010 4dr SUV turbocharged 224hp 2.5L H4

leather seat "baquet" has very good lateral control, but leather is slippery on braking see full Subaru Forester review

4-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Enough room to feel comfortable, even at 6 feet tall. The fact that the Premium Trim package allows rear seats to recline a bit helps a lot as well. see full Subaru Forester review
 

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Lexus GS

2015 Lexus GS Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2014 The best thing about driving the Lexus GS F Sport two years ago remains the best thing. Its highly adjustable driver seat ranks among the few that are both supportive during aggressive driving and comfortable all the time. Adjustments include bi-level lumber, side bolsters, and thigh support. (Note: You can get the same adjustments on the passenger side, but only with the Luxury Package, not the F Sport.) The Cadillac's seats, while far from punishing, aren't as form-fitting or as comfortable. You also sit lower in the CTS, good for feeling sporty, not so good for seeing out of the car. The larger windows in the Lexus also boost driver confidence. see full Lexus GS review
