What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2017 Subaru Forester

2017 Subaru Forester Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2017 4dr SUV turbocharged 250hp 2.0L H4
8-speed shiftable CVT AWD
- Terrible front seat support - The cushions are too short - It's not noticeable on a test drive right away. I would not have bought the car! Test drive extensively! - Surfaces where your elbows would lay are too hard - I purchased foam pads to make it feel better. - Tall drivers like myself will struggle with the telescoping wheel's short extension range. - It is hard to get into a fully comfortable driving position. The memory seats in the XT help somewhat by retaining your seat settings if moved. - Front seat cushions are too short - Yes I said this twice - Front seat cushions are too short - Yes I said this THREE times! Subaru are you listening? The front seat cushions are WAY TOO SHORT! see full Subaru Forester review

Lots of room in rear seats while both front seats are being used, enough room for 5 adults. see full Toyota Matrix review

2004 4dr Hatch 173-horsepower 1.8L I4
6-speed manual FWD
A very strange relationship between steering wheel, pedals, and seat. A telescoping wheel would have greatly helped, but it was not offered. see full Toyota Matrix review
2004 4dr Hatch 173-horsepower 1.8L I4
6-speed manual FWD
It is really too small for adults for more than a couple of hours. No rear armrest either. Door panels were hard plastic. see full Toyota Matrix review
