What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Subaru Outback

2011 Subaru Outback Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Wagon 256-horsepower 3.6L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I am a big guy. 5'10 and about 290 lbs. This car is very comfortable for me. I can reach the controls nicely, love the heated leather seats. see full Subaru Outback review
2012	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	I have found our 2012 Outback to be very comfortable for long drives. The driver's seat has plenty of adjustment to accommodate my frame. Legroom is outstanding. My wife got so spoiled with the heated seats in our 99 Outback Limited that she balks at cars without. So our 2010 and now the 2012 have had the heated seats. see full Subaru Outback review
2012	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	Rear seat comfort is excellent even for very tall teenagers and 20 somethings. The redesign of the Outback in 2010 noticeably improved rear seat space. One note when flipping down the back seats. Make sure your head is out of the way when you lift the release lever. The seat back springs forward quickly. The angle of the rear seat can also be reclined for additional comfort. The fold down center cup holder is a nice touch. The seating position is high so visibility is great. see full Subaru Outback review

2011	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	Impressed with the seat comfort/adjustability/durability. 12+hours in the chair is no problem. see full Subaru Outback review
2010	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD	It seems to have as much room as my Chevy Suburban. see full Subaru Outback review
2010	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD	More then enough room for my children and their car seats. Much more room compared to my VW Passat Wagon I traded in. see full Subaru Outback review
2010	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	This is a big one for me since I'm 6'6". The seat is very comfortable, even with my long legs. With it all the way back, I can fit in the rear seat as well. Also, heated seats are a wonderful thing. see full Subaru Outback review

2010	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	One complaint is the hard, short driver's seat. I use a gel cushion. I had after market leather installed. see full Subaru Outback review
2010	4dr Wagon 256-horsepower 3.6L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	There are no adjustements for height, lumbar or tilt for the passenger in any of the available trim levels. We would have bought this car new from the dealer otherwise. see full Subaru Outback review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	Seat is okay on the interstate, but on a twisty road - forget it! Good thing it has a drivers door and a console, otherwise you would fall out or wind up in the passenger seat. Speaking of the console, what a joke!!! Idiot that designed that should be see full Chevrolet Equinox review
