What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Subaru Legacy

2012 Subaru Legacy Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
