The front passenger seat is cramped, especially on long journeys. My wife is smaller, so its fine for her, but Im an average sized male, about 5'11" and my left knee always aches after a while. see full Ford Focus review |

I am tall (6'6") and fit in the front seats and am able to drive it. That is rare and good. Comfort is high for a GM product. see full Chevrolet TrailBlazer review |
