What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2009 Ford Taurus

2009 Ford Taurus Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
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
2009	4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	Large enough, easy entry/exit see full Ford Taurus review
2008	4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic AWD	Good driving position, steering wheel design and arm rests. see full Ford Taurus review
2008	4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	Very roomy and confortable see full Ford Taurus review
2008	4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	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
2008	4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	Tons of room, with an open feel. 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. The seats are very comfortable. Noise is very low and the car has two vents blowing air or heat. see full Ford Taurus review
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

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Toyota Camry

2013 Toyota Camry Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	Being 6' 3" it can be hard to find a car where I have sufficient legroom & headroom. In the Fusion Hybrid there was lots of space, even with a sunroof. There are also padded surfaces where my left knee rests against the door and where my right leg rests against the center console. The Camry Hybrid was not comfortable. The doors are hard plastic and there was no soft place to rest my knee. The center console was also hard plastic. see full Toyota Camry review
2012	4dr Sedan 178-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	We will use this as a "road car" on longer trips so front seat comfort along with interior -and- trunk room is very good, better than Kia Optima considered. Two large adults comment rear seat also very comfortable. Front seat easier exit too. see full Toyota Camry review

2013 Toyota Camry Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	0	Nice ergonomic shape, but not enough padding. Leather seats feel decidedly firm after two months of ownership. Seat cushion length should be slightly longer for thigh support. see full Toyota Camry review
2012	4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	front seat could be improved for better thigh support for tall drivers see full Toyota Camry review
2012	4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	front seat could be improved for better thigh support for tall drivers see full Toyota Camry review
2012	4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	The door sills are very high which made it tough for me to get my size 13 shoes up and over when sitting behind a front seat that is all the way back. The door sills in the Camry were lower so while there was no more rear seat room than in the Fusion is was possible to get my feet out more easily. see full Toyota Camry review
2012	4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	You can see I'm really reaching here to find things that we didn't like about the Fusion Hybrid, but here's one more... There is a small step up in front of the front seats which made it hard to cross my legs like when traveling on road trips. see full Toyota Camry review
