Roomy rear seat both in terms of legroom, head and shoulder room. Easy to enter and exit, especially when you have a child in a car seat, plenty of room to work around. The split rear seat folds down for extra cargo room if needed. see full Dodge Avenger review |
2011 Ford Fusion Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2011 | 4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The front seats are very comfortable, and provide very adequate support for long trips. Side support isn't the very best for hard cornering though. see full Ford Fusion review |

Controls are easily adjusted to fit any driver. Lateral support is good without feeling pinched into the seat. Dead pedal is perfectly positioned. see full Ford Fusion review |
