2014 Ford Transit Connect Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	The Transit Connect's second-row bench is roomy and fairly comfortable for two people, but somewhat tight for three. The Sienna has another half-foot of shoulder room. Also, the seatback in the Ford's second row does not recline. If you do want captain's chairs, well, they're not an option. The situation worsens in the Ford's third row, which is less substantial and much lower to the floor than the third-row seats in the Honda or the Toyota. Unlike the Transit Connect's second row, its third-row seat does slide fore-aft (about six inches) and recline. Slide it all the way back, and legroom becomes almost generous. Still, it isn't a place many adults would want to spend much time. On top of this, it should be easier to open and close the Transit Connect's sliding doors and to get into its third row. The second row doesn't tip or slide forward like those in conventional minivans. Instead, it must be pushed to the floor in a fairly difficult two-step procedure. see full Ford Transit Connect review

2006 Lincoln Navigator Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr SUV 300-horsepower 5.4L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	The rear console is a bad idea. There's no way for the kids to get to the back seat while driving. see full Lincoln Navigator review
2005	4dr SUV 300-horsepower 5.4L V8 6-speed automatic RWD	The driver's seat is exceedingly comfortable. Its heating and cooling features work quickly and effectively. The adjustable lumbar support is in the right place to be effective without being intrusive, and the large cushion effectively supports the my legs. As an athlete who is almost always sore or injured, I very much appreciate that the seat is high enough off the floor that my lower legs are reasonably vertical. see full Lincoln Navigator review
