2007	4dr Sedan 173-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	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
