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

2009	4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Front seats offer plenty of range of motion. They are comfortable for extended periods of time. Side bolsters are not too soft, not to rigid. Just right. see full Honda Accord review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 177-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Lumbar support is too aggressive, and it is non-adjustable in the LX model. I have gotten used to them, but they are nowhere near the same league as my previously owned Saabs and BMWs. see full Honda Accord review
