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
2010 4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Leather appointed seats are like sitting in an easy chair. see full Ford Taurus review
2010 4dr Sedan turbocharged 365hp 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
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
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2010 Kia Forte

2010 Kia Forte Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Plenty of room, indeed there may be too much room as it is a bit of a reach to unlock the passenger side door, almost impossible to adjust the passenger door mirror and lower the passenger window? Forget it. Plenty of elbow room. see full Kia Forte review
2011 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
My Jazz Bass, in its case, fits on the floor between the front and rear seats. Just like the front seats, there is plenty of room for two and adequate room for three. see full Kia Forte review
2010 Kia Forte Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr Hatch 156-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
I feel the seat is to far away from the wheel and the pedals are angled to steeply. The dead pedal is perfect though. see full Kia Forte review
2010 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD
too small and too tight. see full Kia Forte review
