2006 Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
2006	4dr Sedan turbocharged 230hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	Seats are very large and not built for comfort for a thinner person. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review
2006	4dr Wagon turbocharged 230hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	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

2010	4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	I have had people 6ft 2 inches in the back and they had head and leg room. The Insight is very tight and I, whom is 5 foot 10 inches tall had my head touching the roof, well the top the rear hatch actually. see full Toyota Prius review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	Mentioned this before, but should be mentioned again and again. It's a compact ecoonomy car with luxury under-the-hood technology. see full Toyota Prius review
2011	4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	Lack of lumbar support will translate into back fatigue on long trips. see full Toyota Prius review

2010	4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	I think that the seats should be more supportive for back comfort see full Toyota Prius review
