2015 Mini Hardtop Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	The 4 Door has 1.5 inches more rear legroom than the regular Hardtop, but 32.3 inches still isn't much. At 5-9, I can squeeze behind myself with perhaps an inch between my knees and the carved-out front seatbacks. Rear headroom is relatively abundant even though the seat cushion is mounted a comfortable height off the floor. The rear doors, though an improvement over the Clubman's single rear-hinged half-door, are still small and don't open wide. A Ford Fiesta ST might be at least as tight in the back seat, but the GTI, with 35.6 inches of rear legroom, is far roomier and easier to get into and out of. see full Mini Hardtop review

2007 Ford Fusion Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	not for full size adults, but good for pre-teens see full Ford Fusion review
2008	4dr Sedan 221-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	Seat support seemed to break down over the 2 years I drove this vehicle. Window was very high in relation to the seat. see full Ford Fusion review
2008	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	The roofline should be a few inches higher, and the lower section of the centre stack should be narrower to provide more room for the right knee. see full Ford Fusion review
2006	4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Angle of rear doors and seat do not work well when trying to get in and out. Worse if using as family car and trying to get child in/out of car seat. see full Ford Fusion review
