What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Ford Taurus

2011 Ford Taurus Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Three adult room in the back seat - comfortably! see full Ford Taurus review
2010 4dr Sedan turbocharged 365hp 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
The front and rear seats are very comfortable. The back can be cramped with three passengers. The SL has heated front and rear seats which works great and are needed as the car heater is very slow to initially get warm. The heated steering wheel is also a nice touch. The seat fabric is soft but the light color might not wear well. see full Ford Taurus review

Leather appointed seats are like sitting in an easy chair. see full Ford Taurus review

Independently adjustable lumbar and cushion supports, individual front seat heaters, coolers and massagers for both the seat cushion and the back. Need I say more? see full Ford Taurus review

2012 0 263-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
The front seats are horrible- similar to airline seats, and no amount of adjusting or adding cushions helped. I'm 6'2 and my wife is 5'3.and neither of us could get comfortable. After 2 weeks, it was actually painful to drive this car. see full Ford Taurus review
2012 0 263-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Not enough headroom for adults in the rear seat. Seat comfort is as poor as the front seats. see full Ford Taurus review

2012 Dodge Challenger Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

2013 2dr Coupe 375-horsepower 5.7L V8
6-speed manual RWD
I am a large person, being 6'4" tall and about 250 lbs. This car fits me great, with plenty of room and comfort. I am the driver always (I live alone) and don't often have anyone else with me, although on occasion, I have a passenger. Even with large passengers there is plenty of room in the interior. I have a couple of inches of head room, which is pretty unique. Most cars require me to recline the seat a notch or two in order to avoid having my head in the headliner. I DID NOT purchase a vehicle with a sunroof. That device eats up 2 inches of head room, and I would be right there. Besides, we get a lot of rain here on the coast and I would be afraid of leaks. The seats are supportive, and I have the 6 way power driver's seat. It is easily adjustable for position and has the adjustable lumbar support. I cannot imagine anyone not being able to be comfortable. There is also plenty of leg room in the front seats. The back seats are useful in a pinch, but if I had a family, this would likely not be the best choice of vehicle for me. Although I love driving it, and looking at it! see full Dodge Challenger review

While probably OK for short trips, but would not be comfortable for longer cruise even for small passengers see full Dodge Challenger review
