TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2015 Subaru WRX
2015 |
The Subaru WRX has always been fun to drive. But it used to be cramped inside, especially in the back seat. This is no longer an issue. The new car has more rear seat legroom than the one-size-up Legacy had during its 2005-2009 glory days. Unless your friends and family are tall, they'll fit in back. While the GTI's back seat is nearly as roomy, the Focus ST's isn't in the same ballpark.
If you want rear air vents for your passengers, though, you'll have to get the VW or the Ford. Subaru doesn't offer them in the WRX.

2016 |
4dr Sedan turbocharged 268hp 2.0L H4 6-speed manual AWD |
Anyone whose owned a previous-gen WRX knows rear seat space, especially leg room, as "OK" at best. Subaru has revised the rear seats to where there is now more leg room for the lucky passengers in the rear. With the driver seat adjusted to how I sit (I'm 6-feet tall and have a more upright seating position), there is about 1.5 inches of space between my knees and the driver seat back (vs. no space on the previous gen!). Comfort is pretty good, although the seats take on more of a lean on the seat back, which may/may not jive well with your passengers backs.

2dr Coupe 420-horsepower 5.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
Without the sunroof, there is adequate headroom, legroom, and hiproom for taller drivers (6'6"+). The seats are supportive and comfortable for longer drives. This car makes a competent "daily driver" in fair weather.

2012 Ford Mustang Seat Room and Comfort: Cons |

2012 |
2dr Coupe 305-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
My dad's 2010 Camaro has much more legroom than my Mustang. 2 more inches would help a lot, though I have to admit even at 6-3, I'm still pretty comfy in the Mustang. The room would be nice to have on trips.

2dr Coupe 305-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
Felt like seating position was "on the floor". Steering wheel had only tilt adjustment, no telescope.
