2005	4dr SUV 165-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	There is leg room. The seat is adjustable enough. see full Subaru Forester review

2007	4dr SUV turbocharged 224hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	Front driver leg room is a little cramped from side to side. see full Subaru Forester review
2007	4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	No thigh or lumbar support, seats hrad, minimal leg room for front passenger see full Subaru Forester review
2007	4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	Not acceptable for an adult in any of the three rear seating positions see full Subaru Forester review
2006	4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	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
2005	4dr SUV 165-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	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

2018 Subaru BRZ Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2017	2dr Coupe 205-horsepower 2.0L H4 6-speed manual RWD	The seat heaters are an absolute joke. We thought they were broken. No, they're just terrible. If you live in regular -10c weather you will want a a plug-in seat warmer. The seats themselves are fantastic for driving. Driver's seat does not slide forward when you move the seatback to access the back seat. Seems fine, who wants to reset their seat position every time. The passenger seat does get loose when you pop the seat back up, but the chair slides around loose and left to gravity, will sit at the rearmost spot. Might be nice if it could sit in a divot at the full frontmost position. see full Subaru BRZ review
