2006 Mercury Montego Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Sedan 203-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	It is huge. see full Mercury Montego review
2005	4dr Sedan 203-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	My parents are aging & dad has a replaced hip. The height of both the front & rear seats makes it easier to get in & out of the car. see full Mercury Montego 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
