2014 Subaru Impreza / WRX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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 Mercedes-Benz M-Class Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr SUV turbocharged 240hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	No more back or leg pain on long trips. see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review
