The back seat is not comfortable and has limited leg room. While the latter may be typical of some convertibles, leg room is less than on previous convertibles I have owned. see full Volkswagen Eos review |
2006 Mercury Montego Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2007 | 4dr Sedan 203-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic FWD |
It is huge. see full Mercury Montego review |
2005 | 4dr Sedan 203-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic FWD |
My parents are aging & dad has a replaced hip. The height of both the front & rear seats makes it easier to get in & out of the car. see full Mercury Montego review |
