Leg and head room lacking for over 6 footers. see full Subaru Outback review |

I was amazed at how small the back seat is in this car. Really no bigger than a compact sedan, eg Civic or Corolla. I can't fit my 3 kids (in car seats) back there, and feel bad when co-workers pile in to go to lunch. Surprisingly small for a vehicle this size, and marketed as a "family car." If you plan to put adults or 3 kids back there regularly, look at the '10 or newer (or at something else -- the rear seat in my co-worker's Accord is far bigger and more comfortable). see full Subaru Outback review |

Too short! I am 6ft tall and the front passenger seat leaves me feeling very cramped. Drivers position is better. Seats also too narrow. Maybe plenty of room for skinny folks, but not for us folks that are large boned :-) see full Subaru Outback review |

The Outback is much smaller (but not cheaper) than the XC70. see full Subaru Outback review |

The front seats in this automobile are trimmed in supple leather yet are nice and firm in the European style for all day comfort. I look forward to some longer trips once spring arrives. see full Acura TL review |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 305-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |

Definitely not a family car with older kids. Not a lot of room in the back. see full Acura TL review |

Stiff seats, does not absorb difficult road conditions well. see full Acura TL review |

Seats are very firm and on spending 1-2 hrs in the vehicle my back really hurts. No amount of adjusting will help see full Acura TL review |
