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.
