2006 4dr Sedan 153-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD

Front seat room is above average. see full Ford Taurus review
2005 4dr Wagon 153-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD
We chose this wagon initially because it was the only sedan we could find that fit 2 carseats and an adult, or 3 carseats comfortably in the rear seat. Also, the two additional seats in the cargo area are nice if there are more kids along. see full Ford Taurus review

There is room, but not so much room that I feel lost (as in the newer Taurus-former 500). see full Ford Taurus review

2008 Mini Hardtop Seat Room and Comfort: Cons

2009 2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4
6-speed manual FWD
I drove a John Cooperworks MINI and I found the front seat to be incredibly flat and unsupportive. It was the complete opposite of the GTI seats, and a big part of why I purchased the GTI instead see full Mini Hardtop review

There is no room for anyone other than a child see full Mini Hardtop review
2009 2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4
6-speed manual FWD
Smallish seats made the front feel kinda cheap. The middle armrest was also a very hard plastic, but the door was slightly softer plastic. see full Mini Hardtop review
2009 2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4
6-speed manual FWD
Despite being a hatchback, not a lot of headroom in the back, almost as same as the Mustang. Seats were more upright and headrest should have been integrated into seatbacks; rather, it was mostly a nuisance. see full Mini Hardtop review
2008 2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
too small for adults see full Mini Hardtop review
2008 2dr Hatch 118-horsepower 1.6L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
The roof line is so low that tall people do not fit. When I tested the car my head was touching the roofliner. see full Mini Hardtop review
2007 2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Its small, but not as small inside as you might think. see full Mini Hardtop review
