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 |

2008 | 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
The rear seat slides for and aft making for lots of leg room or more cargo space when you need it. I also like the center armrest and upright position. see full Pontiac Torrent review |
