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 |

Three adults can sit in the back and there knees will not touch the front seats nor will there heads touch the ceiling. The seats are very comfortable. Noise is very low and the car has two vents blowing air or heat. see full Ford Taurus review |

Taller people ride in comfort, with ample room for long legs, even when the front seats are back. The fact that they also fold down adds tremendous versatility to this car. see full Ford Taurus review |

2007 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 235-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
The bench back seems kinds stiff after sitting in the captains chairs.That is one thing they could improve. see full Nissan Quest review |
2005 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
MOST COMFORTABLE VEHICLE FOR 7 PASSENGERS AND THE SKYVIEW MAKES A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. NISSAN RELIABILITY OF THE 3.5L IS RESOUNDING.IF THEY CAN ONLY FIX THE ROTOR ISSUE IT WOULD BE THE BEST VAN ON THE MARKET see full Nissan Quest review |
