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

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

Roomy inside, as well as pretty large greenhouse see full Subaru Impreza / WRX review

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

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

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

nevr a backache, I am a six footer that arrives refreshed and never feel cramped. see full Mini Hardtop 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
2009 2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4

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