2006 Ford Taurus Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr Sedan 153-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Seats are above average in comfort. see full Ford Taurus review
2006	4dr Sedan 153-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Front seat room is above average. see full Ford Taurus review
2005	4dr Wagon 153-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	We chose this wagon initially because it was the only sedan we could find that fit 2 carseats and an adult, or 3 carseats comfortably in the rear seat. Also, the two additional seats in the cargo area are nice if there are more kids along. see full Ford Taurus review
2005	4dr Wagon 153-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Great for long drives, lots of little "smart" features. see full Ford Taurus review

2014 Audi allroad Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Audi suggests that, despite the platform downgrade, the new allroad is pretty close in size to the old one because its cars have been growing with each redesign. Yet while the original allroad felt like a midsize car inside, the new one feels like a compact, especially in the back seat, where both shoulder room and legroom are down by a couple of inches. The average adult will fit, but without much room to spare. This said, the "midsize" Volvo XC70 provides a couple inches more shoulder room but no more leg room. see full Audi allroad review
