What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Ford Taurus

2013 Ford Taurus Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 0 263-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 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. see full Ford Taurus review
2012 0 263-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Not enough headroom for adults in the rear seat. Seat comfort is as poor as the front seats. see full Ford Taurus review
