| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 245-horsepower 3.0L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |

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 |

very tight and narrow rear seat room. feels much bumpier in the rear seat than the front seat. see full Subaru Outback review |

We would have never got rid of the Corolla, but we had a baby and the rear facing car seat made the front seat occupants seat too far forward, close to the dash, to make the seat fit.The car seat made driving very uncomfortable see full Toyota Corolla review |

Front seat room was great, as long as the seats were able to be near the back of their travel. When we had to move the front seats forward for a car seat to fit in the back, it made it too uncomfortable see full Toyota Corolla review |

At 6'2" there is no leftover room, even with the driver's seat all the way back. see full Toyota Corolla review |

The design of the front seats makes it difficult to get four normally proportioned adults into a car which looks like it would accomodate them. The bolstering in the back makes the five-seater only take four. see full Toyota Corolla review |

The car could be a bit wider to better accommodate 3 people in the back seat. see full Toyota Corolla review |
