Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2011 | 4dr Hatch 271-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
I'm tall - 6-6" - and this is the roomiest and most comfortable car I've ever owned. Comparable to a Yukon for a driver. Great room inside at all seating positions for me. see full Honda Accord Crosstour review |

2015 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 |
