What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Mercury Mariner
| 2006 Mercury Mariner Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic AWD |
The seats have plush cushioning, lumbar control and position control. The seats are leather/vinyl (I think leather, but not sure) with center punched suede allowing some air circulation. All good for greater comfort on long trips see full Mercury Mariner review |

| 2006 | 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid CVT AWD |
Rear seat room is limited, seats firm, but little side support see full Mercury Mariner review |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
For long drives even with leather it can get uncomfortable. A little more support and padding would be good in the seat. see full Mercury Mariner review |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Ford Mustang
| 2012 Ford Mustang Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2013 | 2dr Coupe 420-horsepower 5.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
Without the sunroof, there is adequate headroom, legroom, and hiproom for taller drivers (6'6"+). The seats are supportive and comfortable for longer drives. This car makes a competent "daily driver" in fair weather. see full Ford Mustang review |
| 2012 Ford Mustang Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 2dr Coupe 305-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
My dad's 2010 Camaro has much more legroom than my Mustang. 2 more inches would help a lot, though I have to admit even at 6-3, I'm still pretty comfy in the Mustang. The room would be nice to have on trips. see full Ford Mustang review |
| 2011 | 2dr Coupe 305-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
Felt like seating position was "on the floor". Steering wheel had only tilt adjustment, no telescope. see full Ford Mustang review |
