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 Volvo S60 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L I5
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
The driver's seat and driver's position are outstanding, the best I've ever experienced and I've driven Lexuses and Infinitis. Passenger's seat is also very comfortable.rnrnCaution: Back seat and trunk are small. Also, no spare. You get an inflation kit. You can pay $250 for a donut spare. see full Volvo S60 review
2013 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Volvo has a reputation for quality seating - I am very pleased with the comfort and support. I had a recent trip of about 14 hours, and the seats provided the best comfort I've had compared to all other cars I've owned and have drove in long distance trips. see full Volvo S60 review
2012 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L I5
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Very comfortable driving position. Visibility is outstanding in all quarters. I've taken this car on frequent road trips (>300 miles) and I've been very comfortable throughout the trip. see full Volvo S60 review
2012 Volvo S60 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L I5
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Very tight in back. see full Volvo S60 review
2013 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Rear seat space is smaller than 3-series BMW. It's fine for children/young adults, but full size people will find it a little tight. Volvo should have added about six inches to the length and a few inches in width. see full Volvo S60 review
