2011 Ford Escape Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV 171-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	Wide bench seat with no humps. Middle passenger has good leg room where many other vehicles have a large hump to straddle. see full Ford Escape review

2011 Ford Escape Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr SUV 171-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	It's a tad bit tight in the drivers seat. I have to postion the seat just right to avoid hitting my right knee on the center console, and I frequently hit the light switch when getting out. I'm only 5'9", so not that large of a person. see full Ford Escape review
