A Near-Perfect Jekyll and Hyde Daily Driver 2016 Ford Focus Pros and Cons MisterNoisy The Focus is very easy to get comfortable in, with a wide range of seat adjustments and a telescoping wheel teaming up to help you make the car fit you, even in 'base' ST1 form. The Recaros available on higher trim levels are very much a make or break proposition... |

2013 Dodge Dart Limited 2.0 Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Perhaps owing to the Dart's FIAT underpinnings, even when the steering column is as low as it will go it's unusually high. Distant, too, even when telescoped all the way out. To compensate, I raised the driver seat, already a little higher than in a Focus or Cruze and higher... Comparison vehicle: 2012 Ford Focus |

2013 Hyundai Elantra GT Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The Elantra GT's swoopy styling has an all-too-common downside. Compared to those in the Elantra Touring, the new car's instrument panel is much deeper (visually distancing the driver from the road) and its windows are smaller. Outward visibility isn't much worse than in the Ford, which in turn isn't much... Comparison vehicle: 2012 Ford Focus |

2013 Ford Focus ST Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh If I could change one thing about the Focus ST, it would be the view forward from the driver seat. The instrument panel is tall and very deep. A lower, shallower instrument panel beneath a less steeply raked windshield would enable a more direct, more intimate connection between the driver,...

2010 Ford Focus Pros and Cons Member3233 Seating positon is high, good overall front and side visablility. Rearwards is a bit limited due to high trunk line, but the mirrors provide good coverage. |

2005 Ford Focus Pros and Cons Member3994 Comfortable and good visability. |

2004 Ford Focus Pros and Cons Member3922 Seat position is higher than most similar cars which aides my visibility as I scan my head and eyes from right to left when driving. |
|
2009 Ford Focus Pros and Cons Member3770 It can be a bit hard to see out the rear window when backing up. The turn signal lever seems angled up a bit higher than standard, although you get used to it easily. The seat belt is a bit hard to reach with the door closed. |

2009 Ford Focus Pros and Cons A member in Montana, United States The car for a compact has very good visibility and handling. After driving a van for years was not sure we could find a car that would give us the same qualities. |
|
2005 Ford Focus Pros and Cons Member3386 I can sit comfortably and still see very well out of the back windows. I have driven many cars were the view is not that great, when you turn around and look behind and some piece of the car is in the way. |

2009 Ford Focus Pros and Cons Member3022 The rear vision is somewhat hampered by the high mounted trunk. |

2003 Mazda Protege5 2003 Mazda Protege Pros and Cons Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh With a high-mounted seat, thin pillars, and large windows, visibility in all directions is excellent. Current (2012) compact cars tend to have taller, deeper instrument panels and thicker roof pillars. In them, you don't feel nearly as connected to the car and the road.

Ford Focus SVT Review (vs. Mazda Protege5) 2003 Ford Focus Pros and Cons Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Compared to the 2012+ Focus, the original had a less massive instrument panel and larger windows, so it was easier to see out of. Visibility was even better in the Protege5, though. |
