2014 Chrysler 200 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Chrysler 200 shares its basic structure with the compact Dodge Dart. This basis is most evident in the back seat, where legroom is decent but hiproom is considerably tighter than in most midsize sedans. Thanks to the stylish roof line, rear headroom is also in short supply. The Fusion's rear seat isn't nearly the roomiest in the class, but it is roomier and more comfortable than the Chrysler's. If you need a truly roomy rear seat and all-wheel-drive in a somewhat affordable midsize sedan, buy the Legacy. see full Chrysler 200 review |

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 |

Not enough headroom for adults in the rear seat. Seat comfort is as poor as the front seats. see full Ford Taurus review |
