What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2007 Ford Focus

2007 Ford Focus Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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

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

The first-generation Focus has great seats -- cushy, well-bolstered, and high off the floor. see full Ford Focus review

Another two inches of legroom sure would be nice. see full Ford Focus review

Very average for its class. Not a place for grownups for long. see full Ford Focus review

Not the best, but ok for a 2 door hatch. see full Ford Focus review

Short seat track makes it tight for tall drivers and there is no "dead pedal" to rest your left foot on. see full Ford Focus review

2009 Saturn ASTRA Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Hatch 138-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD
Tilt/telescopic steering and with 8 way adjustable drivers seat. I was able to find my near perfect driving position. Every automaker should make a drivers seat manual lumbar standard, then it would be perfect. see full Saturn ASTRA review
2009 4dr Hatch 138-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD
Being a 5 door hatch, there is plenty of room in the back for 2 full size adults or 3 children/teens. With the hatch, there is lots of room for bulky stuff. Like a Mini-SUV in cargo hauling. see full Saturn ASTRA review
2008 4dr Hatch 138-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
The European styled seats are great! Very supportive, but not too firm, and the seat back adjustment is exceptionally simple. see full Saturn ASTRA review
2008 2dr Hatch 138-horsepower 1.8L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
Leather seats with lumbar is very comfortable. Lots of leg room, even for tall people. see full Saturn ASTRA review
2008 2dr Hatch 138-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD
I run 6', 300# and this is one of the few smaller cars I can drive in reasonable comfort while taking the back roads. Nice lateral support and my back doesn't give me fits when I get out. see full Saturn ASTRA review
2008 4dr Hatch 138-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual FWD

I have the cloth seats, which I had read didn't offer good back or thigh support. I find this to be very untrue even without adjustable lumbar support. I did switch out my stock steering wheel with a leather VXR wheel from Britain, which REALLY gave this car a premium feel. The stock seats support my back very well (6'2") and also find there to be just enough leg room with my seat almost all the way back, thigh support is a bit lacking, but for such a tiny car they really did a good job making it feel like a much bigger car. I also highly recommend buying and installing the Boomerang armrest and cup holder to maximize your Astra comfort.

5-speed manual FWD

My only concern about front seat room isn't about the seats at all, but that the peddles in the 5 speed are very small and very very close together, which for me with size 13 feet can create a problem. I have caught my feet together and accidently stomped on the break when trying to push in the clutch, which upsets everyone driving behind me, but provides a good laugh for me.
