2010 Volvo V70 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Wagon turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	They are the comfortable front seats I have ever experienced. I can sit in them for several hours without discomfort, which is not usually the case in other cars. see full Volvo V70 review
2009	4dr Wagon turbocharged 182hp 2.4L I5 Diesel 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I can sit on this chair for many hours without any problems see full Volvo V70 review

2010 Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	There is no lumbar support which makes it tough for drives over 2 hours. The seats could be better for its class. I think Subaru remedied this issue in the new body style, however. see full Subaru Impreza / WRX / Outback Sport review
