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

2010 Ford Focus Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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

Like sitting on concrete. One minor positive was that the lumbar support was decent, but overall lacking 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

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
