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

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

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

Not enough headroom for adults in the rear seat. Seat comfort is as poor as the front seats. see full Ford Taurus review

The Edge is very roomy and comfortable. By leaving out the third seat option, they were able to give the front and rear rows both a little more space and it can comfortably fit 5 adults. see full Ford Edge review
