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 |

There is room, but not so much room that I feel lost (as in the newer Taurus-former 500). see full Ford Taurus review |

Very comfortable with adjustable lumbar for driver. Can sit up high for good visibility. Ride in great comfort on long trips in these seats. see full Ford Taurus review |

No rear head rests. Plain design is just not as comfortable as the fronts. see full Ford Taurus review |
