Comfort and Space in back of 2017 Mustang

[Duke of Kidderminster]

Hi all,

I'm thinking of getting a 2017 Mustang but have a few concerns about what it's like sitting in the back on a long journey. Can anyone comment on how much room is back there for an adult? And could 2 adults ride in it comfortably without being doubled up and folded over like a transformer toy? Finally, are the rear seats comfortable to spend a few hours in?

Thanks

This could kill off my buying a Mustang! Time to take the family to the Ford dealer so they can try it out. But unless it's comfy in the back and not a squeeze it'll never work

Thanks for the replies

My daughter is 5ft 2 and fits in the back; I am 5ft 10 and don't fit. I would guess around 5ft 4 is the limit.
It explains why the salesman on the test drive leans forward between the front seats-it's not just to talk to you- it's to disguise the little headroom!

OK OK!! Stop rubbing salt in. I'm in pieces now as Mustang has always been my favourite car

Went to a Ford dealer and sat in a lovely bright yellow 5.0 Mustang. Really a lovely car and the quality of the interior felt great. Lovely driving position in the front, and the front passenger seat was great.

After struggling to get in the back and sit down I realised that something was not quite right because I couldn't sit in the rear seat with my head vertical. I'm only 5' 8" but I could not sit upright in the rear seat without slouching. So my bubble is well and truly burst.




Thank you Ford very much!!

A nice road test (long termer) article in EVO magazine last month. Journalist says that 4 adults fit in the car, although he does have the convertible. Which agrees with suggestions made on this thread about convertible being an option for the extra headroom (with the roof up!)

I’m just not sure I’m 100% convinced on the looks of the convertible.
