2011 Ford Mustang Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
2010	2dr Coupe 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	What rear seat room? see full Ford Mustang review

2007	4dr Sedan, ext. 382-horsepower 5.5L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	My wife refers to it as a sofa on wheels, my daughter sprawls out in the cavernous back seat. I just love the way it drives. see full Mercedes-Benz S-Class review
