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 |

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 256-horsepower 3.6L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The driver's seat with its 10 way adjustments was rival to Volvo's orthopedic chair. The passenger seat, however was akin to something out of a Yaris & this was the main reason we did not buy this car. see full Subaru Outback review |

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 |

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 |

2008 | 4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
The rear seat is very spacious and relatively comfortable. see full Honda Ridgeline review |
2008 | 4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Plenty of comfortable seat with the split bench. Can fit a car seat on the smaller right side and still have room for two adults with reasonable leg room. Both sides of the split bench can be easily flipped up for increased storage or down for seating. see full Honda Ridgeline review |
2008 | 4dr SUT 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Plenty of room and comfort for 5 passengers. Easy to put seats up or down, depending on hauling needs. Rear seat access is easy via the full-size rear passenger doors. Ventilation is good with the rear-vents between the front seats. see full Honda Ridgeline review |

Cabin width. Big, comfy heated leather seats. The back seats are flatter and less comfortable, but kids like them just fine. The cabin has plenty of room and many storage bins. see full Honda Ridgeline review |

There is no hump in the floor, thus allowing the rear seat to accommodate three adults. The seat is split for folding up for more flexibility. see full Honda Ridgeline review |
