2007 | 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
A little tight up front especially when compared to the M35 which is very roomy. see full Acura RL review |

2015 Lincoln MKZ Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
Rear seat headroom and knee room are borderline tight in the Ford Fusion. In the Lincoln MKZ they're tighter still. Six-foot passengers might still fit, but not comfortably. Even without sufficient space for toes beneath its front seat, the Lexus ES's rear seat is far roomier. see full Lincoln MKZ review |
