What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Ford Focus

2006 Ford Focus Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	It was a pleasant surprise when we discovered how comfortable the front seats were for long road trips. They are contoured enough so I can lay the seat back, with a small pillow and take a nice long nap. This is probably highly subjective, but for us, the car seats have been just what we wanted. see full Ford Focus review
2007	2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The front seat has more room than one would expect. I have yet to encounter someone who has not fit inside comfortably, despite their size. Being over 6ft tall, I drive daily without feeling cramped or enclosed. see full Ford Focus review
2007	2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Lots of room for a big guy like me. see full Ford Focus review
2007	2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Can drive for long distances without succuming to fatigue. see full Ford Focus review

2007	4dr Wagon 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The first-generation Focus has great seats -- cushy, well-bolstered, and high off the floor. see full Ford Focus review
2006	2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Regular sized adults can fit in the back seat without too many problems. see full Ford Focus review

2007	4dr Sedan 151-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Another two inches of legroom sure would be nice. see full Ford Focus review
2007	4dr Sedan 151-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Very average for its class. Not a place for grownups for long. see full Ford Focus review
2007	2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Not the best, but ok for a 2 door hatch. see full Ford Focus review
2006	2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Short seat track makes it tight for tall drivers and there is no "dead pedal" to rest your left foot on. see full Ford Focus review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Chevrolet Equinox

2011 Chevrolet Equinox Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Great - lots of leg room and very adjustable see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2011	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Rear seat slides 8" forward and back. In the back position, excellent leg room for adults. When slid forward, good rear cargo room. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2011	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	It gets more comfortable the more I drive and I do take long drives at times see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2011	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I have two children and they can ride back there comfortablely see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2011	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Just might be enough for a 7 footer. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
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

2011 Chevrolet Equinox Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Front seats are not very supportive, and you sink down into them see full Chevrolet Equinox review
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
