2007 Honda Civic Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	unbelievable much room on the rear seats see full Honda Civic review
2008	4dr Sedan 197-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Good lumbar and side support, nicely adjustable seat and wheel. Shifter is very close to the wheel. Fits me like a glove, but my wife does find the seatback slightly tall. see full Honda Civic review
2007	2dr Coupe 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	very comfortable to drive see full Honda Civic review
2007	2dr Coupe 197-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	great support. the sides basically hold you - which is important because the car can generate serious g-forces going around corners see full Honda Civic review
2007	4dr Sedan 197-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Frankly, the best seats I have sat in outside of a couple BMW Ms. Supportive, well bolstered with good lateral support. Also good support for the lower back for long drives. see full Honda Civic review
2006	4dr Sedan 110-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	I fit pretty nicely in the civic without completing eliminating the backseat behind me. see full Honda Civic review
2006	2dr Coupe 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Perfect fit for me! Very comfortable see full Honda Civic review

2007 Honda Civic Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 110-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	No access from trunk area. Also, very strong chemical smell in vehicle...off gassing from fabrics. The prius did not have near the smell. see full Honda Civic review
2008	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Seats were rock hard(in summer) see full Honda Civic review
2008	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD	very poor AC performance during hot weather see full Honda Civic review
2008	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	not able to fit a rear facing child seat, or very difficult to fit it. we had to even find a small size one. see full Honda Civic review
2008	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	It took me a long time to find a comfortable driving position in this car. It may because of the low seat. I was finally (mostly) successful, but it took a long time to find it, and it is very different than my typical driving position. Also, not great on long trips -- the seat is generally supportive, but it starts to break down a few hours in. see full Honda Civic review
2007	4dr Sedan 110-horsepower 1.3L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD	Rear seat does not fold down see full Honda Civic review
2007	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	merely adequate although better than in the past see full Honda Civic review
2007	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	merely adequate, seats could have more support see full Honda Civic review
2007	4dr Sedan 197-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	Seat needs an adjustable lumber support. see full Honda Civic review
2007	2dr Coupe 197-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	back seat? maybe for a child on a short trip. see full Honda Civic review

2010	The rear seat is fairly comfortable--if you fit. Many compacts have roomier back seats. see full Ford Focus review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2011 Ford Focus

2011 Ford Focus Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
2010	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Head room was great and the seat adjusted vertically with an easy to use lever. see full Ford Focus review

2011 Ford Focus Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual FWD	Driver seat cushion very uncomfortable after 30 minutes; feels like no cushion in seat see full Ford Focus review
2010	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	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
2010	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Like sitting on concrete. One minor positive was that the lumbar support was decent, but overall lacking in comfort. see full Ford Focus review
2010	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Air conditioner doesn't cool car. see full Ford Focus review
