TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Ford Mustang

2014 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

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Ford Mustang

2014 Ford Mustang Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2009 Lexus IS

2009 Lexus IS Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Lousey seats: uncomfortable and build is cheap and not conforming to human posture. But, seems last several years most cars have lousey, cheap and uncomfortable seats. see full Lexus IS review
2010	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Legroom felt narrow for passenger over tranny tunnel. see full Lexus IS review
2009	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Cramped rear seat. Minimal knee and leg room when there is a front driver/passenger. Minimal room for the toddler when sitting in a car seat. Seats 2 small kids at best. see full Lexus IS review
2009	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Yeah, the back is small but still big enough to handle for the poor rear seat passengers. see full Lexus IS review
2009	4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	This is a small car. Interior seating is comfortable but tight. Unless the driver is very short, forget about the back seat. see full Lexus IS review
2009	4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Don't buy this car if you ever plan on carrying four adults. see full Lexus IS review
2008	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The rear seats are very comfortable, but TINY. see full Lexus IS review
2008	4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The rear seat really is too small for adults. The front seats have to be moved forward for adults to sit in the back. see full Lexus IS review
2008	4dr Sedan 416-horsepower 5.0L V8 8-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Not enough rear legroom. see full Lexus IS review
2008	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Small rear seat. More like a coupe with 4 doors. see full Lexus IS review
