2013 Subaru Legacy Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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

2012 Volkswagen's research must have found that Americans highly value rear legroom, because the Passat has an abundance of it. Unless you're an NBA center you'll have plenty of room to stretch out in the back of this sedan. see full Volkswagen Passat review
