What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2010 Honda Odyssey

2010 Honda Odyssey Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Minivan, ext. 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 5-speed automatic FWD	The Odyssey has the best seat setup of any minivan on the market, by a large margin. Standard 8th seat, which is usable, easy to flip the 3rd row, adjustable 2nd row without floor rails to collect debris from kiddos. see full Honda Odyssey review
2011	4dr Minivan, ext. 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 6-speed automatic FWD	Nice and roomy 2nd row, we really like the Wide mode seating. Very nice 3rd row usable by adults. see full Honda Odyssey review
2009	4dr Minivan, ext. 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	Absolutely no complaints here. see full Honda Odyssey review
2009	4dr Minivan, ext. 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	No complaints for the second row. Have never sat in the third row. see full Honda Odyssey review

2010 Honda Odyssey Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Minivan, ext. 247-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 5-speed automatic FWD	The seats are still more thinly padded than the competition - and the third row seat angle is merely adequate. My mother in law noted that our Ody 3rd row is really like a standard seat - not "3rd class" - but the Pacifica made her feel like she was "stuck in the back". see full Honda Odyssey review
2010	0	Just acceptable. see full Honda Odyssey review
2010	0	These seats kill both my wife and my back on long trips. see full Honda Odyssey review
2009	0	Why can't manufacturers make the passenger seat as comfortable with as many adjustments as the driver's side? see full Honda Odyssey review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 Ford Focus

2008 Ford Focus Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	2dr Coupe 143-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	2 door is easy to get in and out of. The leather seating option makes for a comfortable ride especially for such a small car. see full Ford Focus review
2007	4dr Wagon 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The first-generation Focus has great seats -- cushy, well-bolstered, and high off the floor. see full Ford Focus review
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
2007	2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	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
2007	4dr Sedan 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Ample room. see full Ford Focus review
2007	2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Lots of room for a big guy like me. see full Ford Focus review
2007	2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD	Can drive for long distances without succuming to fatigue. see full Ford Focus review

2008 Ford Focus Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	2dr Coupe 143-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Limited space for larger passengers. see full Ford Focus review
2009	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Due to the lack of rear seat room, you must slide the front seats forward to prevent a child from kicking their feet on the back of the seats. Only a booster seat with the front seats forward will minimize this problem. see full Ford Focus review
2009	4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	No rear armrest. Only one cupholder. see full Ford Focus review
2007	2dr Hatch 136-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Not the best, but ok for a 2 door hatch. see full Ford Focus review
2007	4dr Sedan 151-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Another two inches of legroom sure would be nice. see full Ford Focus review
2007	4dr Sedan 151-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Very average for its class. Not a place for grownups for long. see full Ford Focus review
