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 |

Not enough elbow room. see full Subaru Forester review |

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 |

Front seats can get uncomfortable after sitting after a while, especially for taller adults like myself. Seats are also extremely hard, and seating position is not fully adjustable. Seating is too close to the floor as well. see full Subaru Forester review |
