2010 | The rear seat is fairly comfortable--if you fit. Many compacts have roomier back seats. 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 |

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 |

Like sitting on concrete. One minor positive was that the lumbar support was decent, but overall lacking in comfort. see full Ford Focus review |

2014 Hyundai Genesis Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2015 | Unlike in the past, the Cadillac CTS is smaller and lighter than its direct competitors. Instead, the strategy of fielding a larger, heavier car has passed to Hyundai. The new Genesis is about the same length as the old one, and is only an inch longer than the Cadillac (196.5 vs. 195.5 inches). But it rides on a considerably longer wheelbase (118.5 vs. 114.6 inches) and is also significantly wider (74.4 vs. 72.2 inches). These more generous dimensions pay off in about three more inches of rear legroom and over two more inches of rear shoulder room. Based on interior measurements, the Genesis is actually a large sedan, not a midsize. Still, all is not golden in the back seat of the Genesis. Its cushion is mounted a little too low to provide sufficient thigh support (typical in this segment), and its backrest felt like it was reclined a bit too much. see full Hyundai Genesis review |
