| 2013 Subaru Legacy Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment | 
| 2014 | 4dr Sedan 173-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD  | 
						Both front and rear seat room are very good. see full Subaru Legacy review | 
| 2013 | 0 | I had two tall passengers with me - even with the front seat pushed back to accomodate for height (6'4" guy and 5'10" woman), they said the backseat room was quite decent and no complaints on our hour+ long drive. The cloth seats are well padded and the fabirc was breathable - cool for summer and insulating for winter. see full Subaru Legacy review | 
| 2012 | 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD  | 
						Wide rear door openings make ingress & egress from back seat very easy. Commodious rear seat room. see full Subaru Legacy review |
