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

2013 Subaru Impreza / WRX Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 2.0L H4
6-speed shiftable CVT AWD
I am 6'4" tall and this is one of the few compact cars I fit into easily with room to spare. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review
2012 4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 2.0L H4
6-speed shiftable CVT AWD
The rear seats actually have enough space to comfortably fit full size adults or child car seats. The doors open wide making ingress and egress easy. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review
2012 4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 2.0L H4
CVT AWD
I've driven between the SF Bay Area and San Diego several times with no comfort issues. As a point of comparison, I am comfortable with long drives in a 2002 Honda Civic and I would like to burn the seats in a 2010 Hyundai Tucson. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review
2012 4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 2.0L H4
6-speed shiftable CVT AWD
Amongst small cars, this had quite comfortable rear seat room, which accommodated our car seat better than our previous Volkswagen Jetta. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review
2012 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.0L H4
6-speed shiftable CVT AWD
Roomy inside, as well as pretty large greenhouse see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review
2013 Subaru Impreza / WRX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

2013 4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 2.0L H4
6-speed shiftable CVT AWD
The lumbar support is slightly lacking for me, but I have dancer-like posture so it could just be my preference. The seats are very plush and well-designed otherwise... go sit in one. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review
2012 4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 2.0L H4
6-speed shiftable CVT AWD
Seats only adjust two ways, and manual adjustments at that. They're adequate for short trips but uncomfortable if you have to sit for hours. I wish there was an option for multiple power adjustments with memory. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review
2012 4dr Hatch turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4
5-speed manual AWD
Coming from both an MX-5 and Buick Century the cabin of the WRX is very spacious. There is good room for driver and passenger. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review
2012 4dr Hatch turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4

I drove he car for a better part of 2 hours today. The seats were very comfortable all around in rush hour traffic on city and highway roads. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review
