| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Large trunk space seems to sacrifise rear seat area. see full Chevrolet Impala review |

When the drivers seat is all the way back there is little rear seat legroom for tall folks. see full Chevrolet Impala review |
TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Ford Mustang
| 2014 Ford Mustang Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| This "why not" should not come as a surprise. Neither the Mustang nor the Audi has much rear legroom. Plus in the Mustang my head was pressed against the rear window, and I'm only 5-9. The Mustang coupe's rear seat is viable only for people up to 5-6 or so in height. The Audi has a little more rear headroom. As does the Mustang convertible. If you will be putting people into the rear seat of the Mustang, you should turn off the "easy entry" feature. When it's activated, this feature automatically motors the seat backward when the engine is shut off, reducing rear legroom to near zero. I was nearly trapped when I turned the engine off while sitting in the back seat to take photos. If you want a V8-powered coupe with a roomy rear seat, get a Dodge Challenger. Both the Mustang and the RS 5 do a better job of transporting luggage than rear seat passengers. Both trunks have about as much capacity as that of the average compact sedan. see full Ford Mustang review | ||

| 2013 | 2dr Coupe 420-horsepower 5.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
Without the sunroof, there is adequate headroom, legroom, and hiproom for taller drivers (6'6"+). The seats are supportive and comfortable for longer drives. This car makes a competent "daily driver" in fair weather. see full Ford Mustang review |
