Like other recently designed Fords, the Focus has a tighter rear seat than most competitors. At 5-9, I can sit behind myself with perhaps an inch to spare. see full Ford Focus review |

While there is ample room in my Sebring, the seats are not designed for long trips. Hard, ungiving seats are my complaint. see full Chrysler Sebring review |
