I am 6 foot tall, 250 lbs and have plenty of room in the front seat. The driver's position holds me well and i do not feel like i am falling out of the seat when cornering. The passenger seat sits higher than i want, but there is plenty of room there as well. see full Toyota Corolla review |

Small and cram even for 5ft 6in male. Can pull back seat for more comfort but makes back seat even less comfortable and cram. see full Toyota Corolla review |

Since front seat feel cram at initial spacing it cause most front seat user to pull back seat for more comfort but makes back seat even less comfortable and cram. see full Toyota Corolla review |

My right knee/upper calf hits on the side of the console and sometimes gets irritated. The edge of the silver plastic portion could have been designed different/better. see full Toyota Corolla review |

Non existent, adults should not use the rear seats. Could be used as punishment for criminals. see full Toyota Corolla review |

The seats are much improved over older explorers. You can ride for 4 hours and not feel tired when you get out of the truck. I have heated leather, which I recommend. The heat is in the lumbar, as well as seat bottom. Very nice seats. see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review |

So bad I can't drive it much more than the 4 miles to and from work. The front seats are so hard that the first couple times I drove it I couldn't figure out why my feet were so cold. Because the circulation below my knees was being cutoff. I have tried extra cushions for the seat bottom and I have found something that really helps, but on longer drives, combined with the firm ride - bring your Advil. see full Ford Explorer Sport Trac review |
