2006 Subaru Outback Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

2007 4dr Sedan 245-horsepower 3.0L H6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Leg and head room lacking for over 6 footers. see full Subaru Outback review

Seat back a bit low for 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 small for kids 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

2012 GMC Acadia Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

2012 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
The third room has enough head room to even fit an adult comfortably and is wide enough to accommodate three individuals. It is one of the few SUV's that offer 8 seat capacity and has a larger interior capacity than a Tahoe. see full GMC Acadia review
2011 4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
we travel with adults not children and find the 2nd row very comfortable. see full GMC Acadia review
