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 |

Rear seat room is extremely limited but it's a Mini...not a mini van! see full Mini Hardtop review |

We're tall and have room to spare. see full Mini Hardtop review |

Small children, petite women and Hobbits may sit in the back on short trips. Otherwise, forget it. It's a MINI! see full Mini Hardtop review |
