What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2009 Chevrolet Equinox

2009 Chevrolet Equinox Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Front seat comfort and room is great. Driver side lumbar support continues to work great. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2010	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	We really like the track sliding nature of the rear seat. Give passengers in the back plenty of leg room. Also, the large rear doors make it quite easy for our aging parents to get in and out of this vehicle. This feature, more than any other, really "sold" us on the Chevy Equinox. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2010	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The equinox was one of the very few cars that could swallow both a double stroller and two infant seats with ease. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2008	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	The bucket seats are at a perfect height for easy entry and exit. Also there is a liftable arm rest between the seats for storing purse, etc. which eliminates the need for reaching to the back when the passenger seat is occupied. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2008	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	Ample leg and hip room. I am only 5foot 4 inches but have a wide posterior. Seat is comfortable for me. My son is 6 foot 3 inches and medium build. He has ample leg and body room. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2008	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	The rear bench seat can slide forward or back. When slid back, there is ample leg room for even the tallest of passengers. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2008	4dr SUV 264-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The rear seat can slide forward and back 8" providing generous leg room for rear passengers. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

2009 Chevrolet Equinox Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I like the firmness of the front seats, but others may have an issue with it. Seat width leans to the narrow side however, and shoulder room is merely adequate. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2010	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Rear seat legroom is phenominal (and one of the big reasons I chose the Equinox) when you slide it all the way back. This is the first vehicle I've owned where you can fit 4 6'+ people without anyone having to readjust their seats or compromise in any way. The rear seats also recline to a small degree which is an added bonus. see full Chevrolet Equinox review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2010 Ford Focus

2010 Ford Focus Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
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
2009	2dr Coupe 143-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	2 door is easy to get in and out of. The leather seating option makes for a comfortable ride especially for such a small car. see full Ford Focus review

2010 Ford Focus Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
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 4-speed automatic FWD	Air conditioner doesn't cool car. see full Ford Focus review
2009	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	No rear armrest. Only one cupholder. see full Ford Focus review
2009	2dr Coupe 143-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Limited space for larger passengers. see full Ford Focus review
2009	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Due to the lack of rear seat room, you must slide the front seats forward to prevent a child from kicking their feet on the back of the seats. Only a booster seat with the front seats forward will minimize this problem. see full Ford Focus review
