What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2007 Ford Taurus

2007 Ford Taurus Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	Outstanding interior space. I'm 6'4" with about a 34" inseam and I can sit comfortably in the rear when I have my front seat adjusted just so. With the driver seat all the way back, it's a stretch to reach the controls. see full Ford Taurus review
2008	4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	Three adults can sit in the back and there knees will not touch the front seats nor will there heads touch the ceiling. The seats are very comfortable. Noise is very low and the car has two vents blowing air or heat. see full Ford Taurus review

2008	4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	Taller people ride in comfort, with ample room for long legs, even when the front seats are back. The fact that they also fold down adds tremendous versatility to this car. see full Ford Taurus review

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Honda Civic

2012 Honda Civic Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	Interior dimensions haven't changed, so the 2013 Civic continues to have one of the segment's roomiest rear seats (though not in the same league as the VW Jetta). A barely there floor hump and a broad cushy center seat render the Civic more capable than most compact sedans of seating three adults, though the rear cushion is somewhat low and hip room is in short supply. You'll find more shoulder room but less rear legroom in the Dart's back seat. Midsize sedans often don't offer much more rear legroom, but their seats tend to be more comfortably positioned. see full Honda Civic review

2011	2dr Coupe 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Rear seat was a bit tight for adults, in hindsight we should have bought the Accord. see full Honda Civic review
