Volvo should be ashamed for such lousy seats. They know how to build great seats but they shortchanged the V50. see full Volvo V50 review |

What rear seat room? see full Ford Mustang review |
2008 | 2dr Coupe 300-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed manual RWD |
There is very little rear leg room, but this car isn't meant to be a people carrier. It is nice that there are rear seats, but anyone that is not a small child will have a hard time sitting in the back. see full Ford Mustang review |
2008 | 2dr Coupe supercharged 500hp 5.4L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
waste of space, no good for seating, so should have been made for storage see full Ford Mustang review |
