2006 Ford Taurus Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr Sedan 153-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD	Seats are above average in comfort. see full Ford Taurus review
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
