2011 Ford Taurus Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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

2011 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

2009	4dr Sedan 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	This the best point of this car. The leather, from Scotland, is the best I have experienced in a car... And the room is such that my 6 foot son feels separate from me when along for the drive. see full Lincoln MKS review
2009	4dr Sedan 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Front seats are the most comfortable ones I have sat in, the lumbar adjustment is great, not only goes in and out ( harder / softer ), it also has an adjustment for up aand down. see full Lincoln MKS review
2009	4dr Sedan 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Honeslty hard to explain. My kids feel like they are on a couch. Heated. see full Lincoln MKS review
