2010 | 4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic RWD |
I previously owned a crossover vehicle and this car has much more leg room. see full Dodge Charger review |

Plenty of leg room. see full Dodge Charger review |
2008 | 4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic RWD |
Plenty of leg room and comfortable seats for long road trips.No knees bumping the front seats even with the front seats all the way back. see full Dodge Charger review |
2008 | 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Enough roon for a big guy like me to be totally comfortable. No having to hold my legs in an odd position, like one of my past cars, or put my left arm in an uncomfortable spot to be able to relax it. Having big feet makes many cars torture devices. see full Dodge Charger review |

VERY roomy. I am a big guy (just over 6 feet and 300lbs) and I am very comfortable in this car. It has almost as much room up front as my 1966 Impala! see full Dodge Charger review |
2013 Lincoln MKZ Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2013 | Seat evaluations are highly subjective. For me, the MKZ's standard front seats are very good, but short of outstanding. Compared to the seats in the Fusion, they're more firmly contoured but have smaller side bolsters. The optional multi-contour seats might address the bolster deficit. But few people are going to drive this car in a manner that requires much lateral support. see full Lincoln MKZ review |

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 |

I love driving in luxury, and this car delivers much of it. From the cooled/heated seats to the delicious feel of the leather seating surfaces, this car offers more than adequate comfort...and it is a luxury automobile after all. I would expect no less from Lincoln. see full Lincoln MKZ review |
