10 Most Comfortable Cars Under $30,000 (KBB)
  1. Chrysler 300
  2. Chevrolet Malibu
  3. VW Passat
  4. Subaru Legacy
    Quote:
    While Subaru's standard all-wheel-drive grips the road, its supportive, well-bolstered seats grip bodies. Add a spacious interior, good visibility and easy-to-navigate controls, and you have a car that has a fine way of putting you at ease no matter what roads you tackle.
  5. Honda Odyssey
  6. Buick Regal
  7. Toyota Camry
  8. Buick Verano
  9. Chevrolet Cruze
  10. Ford Taurus
All are for MY2012 except the Malibu (2013).

And the Outback is #4 on their 10 Best Family Cars of 2012 list.
Quote:
If your family deserves a sport utility vehicle but doesn't want an SUV, the 2012 Subaru Outback is the perfect on-road, off-road, all-road choice. Every Outback comes with all-wheel drive, an integrated roof rack and 8.7 inches of ground clearance - not bad for a fuel-smart, road-savvy station wagon with room for five adults and loads of cargo.

nice. The Legacy is super comfortable for long trips. My 2005 was brutal on my body for trips over an hour.

At least for me, I found the new Outback front seats horribly uncomfortable. I never have back problems and after just 5 minutes or so in the front seat my lower back started killing me. Total deal breaker.

Spend a little over 30k and you get a Volvo with arguably the best seats in any car.

a lot of the magazines talk about how comfortable the new Legacy and Outback seats are. in my 2005, my lower back would star hurting as well as my legs. My elbow that rested on the door rest would hurt as well because the padding was so thin. I was always uncomfortable on long rides. I'm not that uncomfortable in the STI which doesn't have lumbar support or an adjustable seat bottom. our 2010 LGT is super comfortable on the highway. I've never had any sort of pain from sitting too long. Everyone's experience will be different though

The Legacy's front and back seats were almost sofa-cushy comfortable and supportive.

Front seats are superbly comfortable, with most models including one of the best driver-seat lumbar supports we've tested.

I wouldn't say the 05 is uncomfortable, it's just tiny. It might be fine for the front passengers, but not anywhere close for most people in the back.

My cousin is 6'6 and his knees were pretty much hitting the dash in my 2006, it's a bit better in my 2012. You must have some short legs if you're not having any issues. I'm talking about him sitting in the passenger seat btw.

He drives a Charger, I can't even reach the pedals comfortably when I get into the driver's seat without adjusting the seating position and I'm 6'0.

...I preferred the bolstering in my GLI, but in terms of comfort my LGT is easily much more comfortable.

Did you mess with the lumbar support to find a decent setting? I sat in one today and noticed the lumbar has a pretty wide range, especially compared to the little lever in my 08. But I wasn't driving, so hard to really rate the comfort.

I was in the passenger seat and there was no lumbar adjustment. His Outback also did not have driver's seat lumbar. Another thing Subaru cheaped out on. However, what really killed any idea of me ever getting an Outback was the ridiculously horrible media hub ipod integration. Did Subaru go back to 1997 to get the tech that they put in their cars?

I love the seats. Comfortable and surpringly supportive for overly aggresive driving. Best of all, my wife stopped complaining about her back hurting on long trips compared to my 08 Impreza.

That must have been a base model if there was no lumbar on the driver's side. Ipod/Iphone integration is fine on my LGT. Bluetooth Audio integration is perfect. The sound is good and works with the steering wheel controls. I don't like using the USB connection as it locks out being able to use the touchscreen to change playlists while driving.

My 2005 was fine for everyday driving, it just wore on my body for long travels. I don't have this problem at all in the STI or the LGT. I'm not a picky seat person either... no back problems, not overweight , and not tall. It wasn't a deal breaker for me, but it was definitely not long haul friendly.
