Why Not the 2012 Ford Taurus?

Front seat support & comfort

The front seats are horrible- similar to airline seats, and no amount of adjusting or adding cushions helped. I'm 6'2 and my wife is 5'3.and neither of us could get comfortable. After 2 weeks, it was actually painful to drive this car.

Driving position & visibility

Outward visibility is very poor due to short chopped windows and thick pillars. The situation is very bad for tall drivers because the headliner and sun visor hang down so far you cannot see the traffic lights. Making lane changes is difficult.

Rear seat room & comfort

Not enough headroom for adults in the rear seat. Seat comfort is as poor as the front seats.

Safety & braking

Not safe for a tall driver to drive in traffic due to the poor visibility.
