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 |

Longest drive was 6 hours and had no discomfort whatsoever. Have ridden for 4 hours in a Toyota Rav4 and was almost in pain after an hour. see full Infiniti FX review |
