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

2011 Ford Focus Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

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

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

Like sitting on concrete. One minor positive was that the lumbar support was decent, but overall lacking in comfort. see full Ford Focus review

2009 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4

A lot less leg room when compared to the GTI, but the rear hatch space is bigger. see full Audi A3 review
2008 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD
Really just a 4 place vehicle...3 across in the rear is not comfortably possible. see full Audi A3 review
2008 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4

Slightly too close to each other in arm room. see full Audi A3 review
2007 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD
The back seat is too small for most adults. I hadn't thought about it much when I bought the car, but it became apparent. I'd take friends to lunch and they are uncomfortable.Even ifa personplans on sitting small children in the back, they grow and the useful life of the car is affected. I wish the Europeans would figure that out. see full Audi A3 review

Due to the position of the doors it is hard to get in and out of the car. see full Audi A3 review
