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 |

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 |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Scion iQ
| 2014 Scion iQ Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2013 | 2dr Hatch 94-horsepower 1.3L I4 CVT FWD |
For such a small car, it's surprising roomy up front. I'm 6' 200 lbs and have no problem getting in. Comfort is good with plenty of head room. Back seat is very tiny but one person could sit there fairly comfortably by sitting sideways as the front passenger seat sits a little farther forward than the driver seat. Passenger seat has plenty of room since there is no glove box that gets in the way. see full Scion iQ review |

| 2013 | 2dr Hatch 94-horsepower 1.3L I4 CVT FWD |
Rear seat room is pretty small. An adult would have to sit sideways to make use of it (our dealer sat back there during our test drive. If there are more than one or two people who will be using this car at one time, it's probably not the right choice. see full Scion iQ review |
