TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2017 Chevrolet Cruze

2017 Chevrolet Cruze Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2016	The old Chevrolet Cruze, like the Ford Focus, had a rear seat on the tight side even by compact sedan standards. According to the specs, the new one has only gained a few tenths of legroom. But the improvement feels much larger. Chevrolet claims that rear knee room (not a standard spec) has increased by two inches, and this aligns much better with my perceptions. Some competitors, including the Honda Civic, continue to offer more rear seat space. But the new Cruze's back seat could be the most comfortable in the class for two average-sized men. With a position well above the floor, the rear seat cushion provides much better thigh support than the typical sedan, much less the typical compact sedan. The Civic has a lower rear cushion and insufficient foot space under its front seats, squandering its on-paper legroom advantage. Up front the Cruze has comfortable seats (though, like those in the Civic, without adjustable lumbar support) but shoulder room typical of a compact car. The Civic has two more inches of shoulder room and feels more like a midsize sedan in the front seat. Both cars have good driving positions with reasonably compact instrument panels. In L and LS trim, the new Cruze has a 14.9-cubic-foot trunk, nearly identical to that of the new Civic and about as large as you'll find in the class. But the LT and Premier have a compact spare tire that reduces cargo volume to 13.6 cubic feet. Still pretty good. Next year both cars will also be available as hatchbacks. see full Chevrolet Cruze review

2011 Ford Fusion Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The front seats are very comfortable, and provide very adequate support for long trips. Side support isn't the very best for hard cornering though. see full Ford Fusion review
2010	4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	All passengers have commented about the generous space and overall comfort of the rear seat. see full Ford Fusion review
2010	4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed automatic FWD	Controls are easily adjusted to fit any driver. Lateral support is good without feeling pinched into the seat. Dead pedal is perfectly positioned. see full Ford Fusion review
