TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Ford Focus

| 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 | ||

It holds 5 people in the rear comfortly. It also has great utility. With the Stow & Go seats they all fold neatly into the floor. It even fits a 4 foot by 8 foot sheet of plywood -- I did not have to rent a truck from Home Depot. see full Chrysler Town & Country review |
| 2009 | 4dr Minivan, ext. 251-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Better seats and seating position than Town Car or Deville as a comparison. see full Chrysler Town & Country review |

Stow-n-Go rear seats (rear AND middle seats fold flat into floor) are a mixed blessing. GREAT for cargo room flexibility but too small for best comfort for larger adults. see full Chrysler Town & Country review |
