Very confortable seats, The stock seats hold you pretty well even in a little senmi-agressing driving. Nice position in the power seats and easy to get the just right spot. 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

Felt like seating position was "on the floor". Steering wheel had only tilt adjustment, no telescope. see full Ford Mustang review

The first con is the obvious one, and a deal killer for many people. While the FR-S has a barely usable rear seat, the MX-5 Miata has none at all. see full Mazda MX-5 Miata review
