2021 Toyota RAV4 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

2020 4dr SUV 176-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid

Seats are comfortable but the cockpit seems designed to enfold you and while there is plenty of dose it doesn't feel roomy. The console is over large. see full Toyota RAV4 review
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2017 Subaru Forester

2017 Subaru Forester Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

- Terrible front seat support - The cushions are too short - It's not noticeable on a test drive right away. I would not have bought the car! Test drive extensively! - Surfaces where your elbows would lay are too hard - I purchased foam pads to make it feel better. - Tall drivers like myself will struggle with the telescoping wheel's short extension range. - It is hard to get into a fully comfortable driving position. The memory seats in the XT help somewhat by retaining your seat settings if moved. - Front seat cushions are too short - Yes I said this twice - Front seat cushions are too short - Yes I said this THREE times! Subaru are you listening? The front seat cushions are WAY TOO SHORT! see full Subaru Forester review
