2013 Ford Taurus Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
