2015 GMC Terrain Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2015	4dr SUV 301-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The rear seat room is plentiful, and because rear seat can be slid forward and back, you can shift between needing more leg room and using more of the cargo area. We had traded in a 2015 Dodge Journey for the Terrain, because of safety concerns, but realized after we had it for awhile, the rear seat of the Journey was not able to go back far enough into the cargo area, and because of the bulky and high mounted head rests, you felt trapped. The Terrain does not have these issues and feels much more roomy and comfortable. The rear seats are supportive and not at all like some back seats that feel like they were an afterthought. see full GMC Terrain review

2011 Ford Taurus Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Three adult room in the back seat - comfortably! 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
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

2011 Ford Taurus Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	0 263-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The front seats are horrible- similar to airline seats, and no amount of adjusting or adding cushions helped. I'm 6'2 and my wife is 5'3.and neither of us could get comfortable. After 2 weeks, it was actually painful to drive this car. see full Ford Taurus review
2012	0 263-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Not enough headroom for adults in the rear seat. Seat comfort is as poor as the front seats. see full Ford Taurus review
