4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
A little tight up front especially when compared to the M35 which is very roomy.

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Ford Focus
2012 Ford Focus Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year Comment
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.
