No contest-Edge seats are very comfortable vs. tolerable seats in the Dodge. see full Ford Edge review |

The Edge rear seat legroom is great. There are few crossovers with such good rear seat comfort and legroom. I did not want the third row, the lack of third row helps with rear legroom. see full Ford Edge 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 |
