2011 Ford Fusion Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The front seats are very comfortable, and provide very adequate support for long trips. Side support isn't the very best for hard cornering though. see full Ford Fusion review
2010	4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	All passengers have commented about the generous space and overall comfort of the rear seat. see full Ford Fusion review
2010	4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	Controls are easily adjusted to fit any driver. Lateral support is good without feeling pinched into the seat. Dead pedal is perfectly positioned. see full Ford Fusion review

2009 Mini Hardtop Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	2dr Hatch 118-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	nevr a backache, I am a six footer that arrives refreshed and never feel cramped. see full Mini Hardtop review
2009	2dr Hatch 118-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	heated seats, great driving position, great visability see full Mini Hardtop review

2009 Mini Hardtop Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Smallish seats made the front feel kinda cheap. The middle armrest was also a very hard plastic, but the door was slightly softer plastic. see full Mini Hardtop review
2009	2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Despite being a hatchback, not a lot of headroom in the back, almost as same as the Mustang. Seats were more upright and headrest should have been integrated into seatbacks; rather, it was mostly a nuisance. see full Mini Hardtop review
2009	2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD	There is no room for anyone other than a child see full Mini Hardtop review
2009	2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD	I drove a John Cooperworks MINI and I found the front seat to be incredibly flat and unsupportive. It was the complete opposite of the GTI seats, and a big part of why I purchased the GTI instead see full Mini Hardtop review
2008	2dr Hatch 118-horsepower 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The roof line is so low that tall people do not fit. When I tested the car my head was touching the roofliner. see full Mini Hardtop review
2008	2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	too small for adults see full Mini Hardtop review
