2012 Ford Mustang Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

2013 2dr Coupe 420-horsepower 5.0L V8
6-speed manual RWD
Without the sunroof, there is adequate headroom, legroom, and hiproom for taller drivers (6'6"+). The seats are supportive and comfortable for longer drives. This car makes a competent "daily driver" in fair weather. see full Ford Mustang review

2012 2dr Coupe 305-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed manual RWD
My dad's 2010 Camaro has much more legroom than my Mustang. 2 more inches would help a lot, though I have to admit even at 6-3, I'm still pretty comfy in the Mustang. The room would be nice to have on trips. see full Ford Mustang review
2011 2dr Coupe 305-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed manual RWD
Felt like seating position was "on the floor". Steering wheel had only tilt adjustment, no telescope. see full Ford Mustang review
 

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Cadillac CTS

2011 Cadillac CTS Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
The optional Recaro seats are a must despite their $3,400 price, as they provide power-adjustable side bolsters that provide far better lateral support than the standard seats. But the Recaro seats aren't very comfortable, with overly firm bulges here and there. Though the lumbar support can be power-adjusted vertically as well as in-and-out, I couldn't find any position where it was comfortable and ended up adjusting it for minimum intrusiveness. see full Cadillac CTS review
