Subaru WRX Long-Term Update: The base seats are fantastic

Although Road Test Editor Zac Palmer already gave a thorough overview of our WRX's interior, I wanted to take a moment to really highlight the front seats. They are so, so good, both at being comfortable and keeping you in place. They're quite deep, with lots of thigh support. The bolsters are firm and prominent too, but just open enough that even larger occupants will be comfortable. Our Limited also gets Ultrasuede upholstery on the same basic seats. Combine those bolsters with the Ultrasuede, and you get some astonishing grip. It can actually take a bit of effort to fully slide into these seats. Once you're in place, all that support plus lots of legroom and a relatively high seating position mean it's easy to stay comfy for a very long time. It all reminds me of the 2007 Civic Si I had a number of years ago, just having a near perfect blend of comfort and support for on the road and in sportier scenarios.
