The Edge is very roomy and comfortable. By leaving out the third seat option, they were able to give the front and rear rows both a little more space and it can comfortably fit 5 adults. see full Ford Edge review

2012 4dr SUV 171-horsepower 2.5L I4

It's a tad bit tight in the drivers seat. I have to postion the seat just right to avoid hitting my right knee on the center console, and I frequently hit the light switch when getting out. I'm only 5'9", so not that large of a person. see full Ford Escape review
