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 |

It has a rear seat and 4 doors! Tight for a rear-facing baby seat, though. Put the baby behind the passenger seat. see full Pontiac Grand Prix review |
