2010 The rear seat is fairly comfortable--if you fit. Many compacts have roomier back seats. see full Ford Focus review
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Ford Focus

2011 Ford Focus Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
I am ranking the driver's seat high in comfort even though 10 minutes is not enough to be sure. The seat has a lot of adjustability, including height. It feels like sitting on a platform rather than a hammock. The seat felt supportive without being hard. I can imagine it would allow for long distance travel in comfort. see full Ford Focus review
2010 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD
Head room was great and the seat adjusted vertically with an easy to use lever. see full Ford Focus review

Driver seat cushion very uncomfortable after 30 minutes; feels like no cushion in seat see full Ford Focus review
2010 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
It's tight in the back. Entry and egress are a bit cumbersome in particular for the feet. My shoe size is 9.5. see full Ford Focus review
2010 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD
Like sitting on concrete. One minor positive was that the lumbar support was decent, but overall lacking in comfort. see full Ford Focus review
