I know it is a smaller sedan, but even with the front seats shoved up to that your knees are in the dashboard, that leaves just enough room for an average human in back. Under normal front seat conditions, crushed knees in back. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review

Seats are very large and not built for comfort for a thinner person. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review

The rear seat leg room is too small for American sized adults. A little more room would have made this car a lot more livable when family comes to town. This may be THE reason why I upgrade to a midsize car once this car dies. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review

2009 2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4
6-speed manual FWD
Smallish seats made the front feel kinda cheap. The middle armrest was also a very hard plastic, but the door was slightly softer plastic. see full Mini Hardtop review
2009 2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4
6-speed manual FWD
Despite being a hatchback, not a lot of headroom in the back, almost as same as the Mustang. Seats were more upright and headrest should have been integrated into seatbacks; rather, it was mostly a nuisance. see full Mini Hardtop review

There is no room for anyone other than a child see full Mini Hardtop review
2009 2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4

I drove a John Cooperworks MINI and I found the front seat to be incredibly flat and unsupportive. It was the complete opposite of the GTI seats, and a big part of why I purchased the GTI instead see full Mini Hardtop review
2008 2dr Hatch 118-horsepower 1.6L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
The roof line is so low that tall people do not fit. When I tested the car my head was touching the roofliner. see full Mini Hardtop review
