What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze

2012 Chevrolet Cruze Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 1.8L I4
6-speed manual FWD
Rear seat legroom is a bit tight with the front seats fully back. see full Chevrolet Cruze review
2012 4dr Sedan turbocharged 138hp 1.4L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Unfortunately there is no leg room in the rear of the car when the front seats are a particular distant from the dashboard. So either all the people when riding in this car need to be small people like no more then 5 foot?! or you can only have two 6 foot people in it at a time. needs serious improvements there! see full Chevrolet Cruze review
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Ford Focus

2006 Ford Focus Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
It was a pleasant surprise when we discovered how comfortable the front seats were for long road trips. They are contoured enough so I can lay the seat back, with a small pillow and take a nice long nap. This is probably highly subjective, but for us, the car seats have been just what we wanted. see full Ford Focus review
2007 2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD
The front seat has more room than one would expect. I have yet to encounter someone who has not fit inside comfortably, despite their size. Being over 6ft tall, I drive daily without feeling cramped or enclosed. see full Ford Focus review
2007 2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4

2007 4dr Wagon 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD
The first-generation Focus has great seats -- cushy, well-bolstered, and high off the floor. see full Ford Focus review
2006 2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD
Regular sized adults can fit in the back seat without too many problems. see full Ford Focus review

2007 4dr Sedan 151-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD
Another two inches of legroom sure would be nice. see full Ford Focus review
2007 4dr Sedan 151-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD
Very average for its class. Not a place for grownups for long. see full Ford Focus review
2007 2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD
Not the best, but ok for a 2 door hatch. see full Ford Focus review
2006 2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD
Short seat track makes it tight for tall drivers and there is no "dead pedal" to rest your left foot on. see full Ford Focus review
