Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2011 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
Not wide enough for circumferentially challenged bodies. Bottom cushion too narrow, confined bolsters, not long enough under thighs. see full Toyota 4Runner review |

Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2006 | 4dr Sedan 153-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |

Front seat room is above average. see full Ford Taurus review |
2005 | 4dr Wagon 153-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
We chose this wagon initially because it was the only sedan we could find that fit 2 carseats and an adult, or 3 carseats comfortably in the rear seat. Also, the two additional seats in the cargo area are nice if there are more kids along. see full Ford Taurus review |
