2015 Subaru WRX Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
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. see full Subaru WRX review

2015 Subaru WRX Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

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. see full Subaru WRX review

2013 Hyundai Genesis Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

2012	4dr Sedan 333-horsepower 3.8L V6 8-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Climate controls (heat and cooling) are great for the driver. Let's add cooling for the passenger. see full Hyundai Genesis review
2012	4dr Sedan 333-horsepower 3.8L V6 8-speed shiftable automatic RWD	I am 6'3" and have more than enough head and leg room. Front seat width room is great see full Hyundai Genesis review
