2014 Volvo S60 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The driver's seat and driver's position are outstanding, the best I've ever experienced and I've driven Lexuses and Infinitis. Passenger's seat is also very comfortable.rnrnCaution: Back seat and trunk are small. Also, no spare. You get an inflation kit. You can pay $250 for a donut spare. see full Volvo S60 review
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Volvo has a reputation for quality seating - I am very pleased with the comfort and support. I had a recent trip of about 14 hours, and the seats provided the best comfort I've had compared to all other cars I've owned and have drove in long distance trips. see full Volvo S60 review

2014 Volvo S60 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Very tight in back. see full Volvo S60 review
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Rear seat space is smaller than 3-series BMW. It's fine for children/young adults, but full size people will find it a little tight. Volvo should have added about six inches to the length and a few inches in width. see full Volvo S60 review

2007 Subaru Forester Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

2007	4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed automatic AWD	Not acceptable for an adult in any of the three rear seating positions see full Subaru Forester review
2006	4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	Again, cramped and too small for larger people. see full Subaru Forester review
2006	4dr SUV turbocharged 230hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	This is honesty the only complaint i have about the 2006 XT. The rear seat is a bit tight. We took three other adults on about a 4 hour trip and it was a tight fit - good thing we're good friends! My wife's 2009 Forester is much better in the rear legroom department. see full Subaru Forester review
