2012 Ford Edge Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV 285-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic FWD	No contest-Edge seats are very comfortable vs. tolerable seats in the Dodge. see full Ford Edge review
2011	4dr SUV 285-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The Edge rear seat legroom is great. There are few crossovers with such good rear seat comfort and legroom. I did not want the third row, the lack of third row helps with rear legroom. see full Ford Edge review
