There is very little rear leg room, but this car isn't meant to be a people carrier. It is nice that there are rear seats, but anyone that is not a small child will have a hard time sitting in the back. see full Ford Mustang review
2008 2dr Coupe supercharged 500hp 5.4L V8
6-speed manual RWD
waste of space, no good for seating, so should have been made for storage see full Ford Mustang review
2007 2dr Coupe 210-horsepower 4.0L V6

While our present government may blow off the standards & principles of the Geneva Convention, I still find them worthy enough to abide. Mustang rear seats are in clear violation. see full Ford Mustang review

After driving the Optima for five days straight for 10+ hours per day, other than the occasional stop, on a road trip, not one time did I get a sore back or thighs. see full Kia Optima review
