2016 Ford Mustang Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
This "why not" should not come as a surprise. Neither the Mustang nor the Audi has much rear legroom. Plus in the Mustang my head was pressed against the rear window, and I'm only 5-9. The Mustang coupe's rear seat is viable only for people up to 5-6 or so in height. The Audi has a little more rear headroom. As does the Mustang convertible. If you will be putting people into the rear seat of the Mustang, you should turn off the "easy entry" feature. When it's activated, this feature automatically motors the seat backward when the engine is shut off, reducing rear legroom to near zero. I was nearly trapped when I turned the engine off while sitting in the back seat to take photos. If you want a V8-powered coupe with a roomy rear seat, get a Dodge Challenger. Both the Mustang and the RS 5 do a better job of transporting luggage than rear seat passengers. Both trunks have about as much capacity as that of the average compact sedan. see full Ford Mustang review |

Other sedans I have owned always left something to be desired in the back seat. Not the Sonata. With so much rear space you really feel like you are in a full sized car! Plus being a big guy has always cramped my rear passengers until now! see full Hyundai Sonata review |

I am 300 pounds and over 6 feet tall. This is the first car that I have owned in years that allows me to make a five - six hour drive in comfort, without the need to stop and stretch. see full Hyundai Sonata review |
