Is there a thread with measurements of backseats of different cars?
We are looking on car sites to see difference between the 2014 Subaru Forester and the 2013 Subaru Crosstrek and also to compare to the 2004 Mazda 3 that we currently have.
The hip room specifications are confusing us. I thought the 2014 Forester was supposed to have a large backseat. The Crosstrek is the same as the Impreza and is a smaller car.
This is what the specifications say:
2014 Forester 53.0"
2013 Crosstrek 53.1" (2013 Impreza is exactly the same if you are not familiar with the Crosstrek)
2004 Mazda 3 53.9"
How is the tiny Mazda 3 have a wider back seat than the new Forester? Is it really bigger than the Impreza? How is hip room measured? Is this even accurate to get width of backseat?
I understand that the width of the backseat doesn't really have much to do with how carseats will fit, but I really don't want something smaller than our Mazda3 which is too small!
