TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Ford Focus

2014 Ford Focus Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
Like other recently designed Fords, the Focus has a tighter rear seat than most competitors. At 5-9, I can sit behind myself with perhaps an inch to spare. see full Ford Focus review

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
