2010 Subaru Outback Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
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 |

Wide space with lots of shoulder, hip, leg and head room. Seats are comfy too without being decadent. 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 |

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 |

It seems to have as much room as my Chevy Suburban. 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 |

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 |

2004 | 4dr Coupe 140-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Seats are hard and offer little to no support for back or legs. Especially uncomfortable on long car trips. At 24, I should not be haveing back support issues. I have driven long distances in other cars before, not nearly as uncomfortable as the ION. see full Saturn ION review |
2004 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.2L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Not much rear seat room at all, and very little place to put feet. It had theatre style seating, that sat rear passengers higher than the front. This was great for visibility. However, headroom was not very great. The seats were not supportive. see full Saturn ION review |
