TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Subaru Legacy

2015 Subaru Legacy Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2015 Along with the Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, and Volkswagen Passat, the Subaru Legacy has one of the roomiest rear seats in the segment. Rear seat passengers have a couple inches less knee room in the Ford Fusion. The rear seats in the Chrysler and Buick are tighter still. This said, especially with the optional sunroof rear seat headroom is somewhat limited. People taller than six feet might come into contact with the headliner. The top trim level includes rear air vents. see full Subaru Legacy review
2015 Subaru Legacy Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
The front seats have an unusually high bulge just below my shoulder blades. This feels more odd than uncomfortable, at least to me. Partly depending on your height your experience might vary. These seats also provide very little lateral support, which admittedly isn't much of an issue given the limited grippiness of the tires. I had no such qualms with the armrest on the door. It's wide and cushy. In the front seats' favor, for 2015 Subaru has added fore-aft adjustability to the headrests, a rarity in recent moderately priced cars. see full Subaru Legacy review

Even with the front driver and passenger seats move all the way to the back of their tracks and reclined somewhat, there is still plenty of legroom for backseat passengers (even 6 footers). This is really a full size sedan and not a mid-size. see full Honda Accord review

Front seats offer plenty of range of motion. They are comfortable for extended periods of time. Side bolsters are not too soft, not to rigid. Just right. see full Honda Accord review

This sedan has the most comfort of any sedan I have been in. Others may have had a little more room like the camry but the accord was more comfortable. I am also 6 foot 4 and plenty of head room. see full Honda Accord review

Lumbar support is too aggressive, and it is non-adjustable in the LX model. I have gotten used to them, but they are nowhere near the same league as my previously owned Saabs and BMWs. see full Honda Accord review
