What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Subaru Legacy

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

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	3rd row seats are big enough and comfortable enough for an adult. 2nd row seats are the best captain chairs I have ever sat in in a car. Glass roof gives additional room appearance. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review

2006	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The STANDARD leather seating surfaces on the 2006 front seats - way better feel than artico leather. The adjustment range to get things just right and the head rest. Very cozy. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review

2006	4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	This has to be, by far, the roomiest Mercedes period. Back seat comfort, even in the third row, is unmatched. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
