2007 Volkswagen Touareg Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

6-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range
The front seats in a Touareg are on par with the best seats from Mercedes and BMW. My back hates driving long distances, but you can drive this car till your eyes are crossed. Your butt and back never tire from these seats. see full Volkswagen Touareg review

2010 4dr SUV turbocharged 224hp 2.5L H4

leather seat "baquet" has very good lateral control, but leather is slippery on braking see full Subaru Forester review

4-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Enough room to feel comfortable, even at 6 feet tall. The fact that the Premium Trim package allows rear seats to recline a bit helps a lot as well. see full Subaru Forester review
