2014 Lincoln MKZ Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	Seat evaluations are highly subjective. For me, the MKZ's standard front seats are very good, but short of outstanding. Compared to the seats in the Fusion, they're more firmly contoured but have smaller side bolsters. The optional multi-contour seats might address the bolster deficit. But few people are going to drive this car in a manner that requires much lateral support. see full Lincoln MKZ review

2014 Lincoln MKZ Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Rear seat headroom and knee room are borderline tight in the Ford Fusion. In the Lincoln MKZ they're tighter still. Six-foot passengers might still fit, but not comfortably. Even without sufficient space for toes beneath its front seat, the Lexus ES's rear seat is far roomier. see full Lincoln MKZ review

2008 Chevrolet Avalanche Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr SUT 320-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic RWD	The interior is basically a Tahoe and even with 5 people, the truck is comfortable. Rear AC and headphone jacks help too. see full Chevrolet Avalanche review
2007	4dr SUT 320-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	Plenty of room for 3 adults, even with a tall adult in the middle seat. see full Chevrolet Avalanche review
