I have arthritis and it is great to have a seat that i can lower and slide way back. Not just great - it was important in the purchase decision. . see full Toyota Camry review |

The wings are not angled up too steeply for my wide, creaky hips. I still need a two-inch foam insert to see properly and compensate for the lack of OEM padding in the seat, though. see full Toyota Camry review |

It could not seat three adults, while the Ford could easily seat three large people, and give them limo-like legroom. see full Toyota Camry review |
