2015 Ford Focus Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr Sedan 103-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The front passenger seat is cramped, especially on long journeys. My wife is smaller, so its fine for her, but Im an average sized male, about 5'11" and my left knee always aches after a while. see full Ford Focus review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	Lumbar in the base model. Good side bolstering on bottom cushion and through the shoulders. Large range of adjustment and the wheel tilts and shifts. see full Nissan Maxima review
2010	4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD	Lots of room, soft seats. see full Nissan Maxima review
