Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2008 | 4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
This car is spacious and very easy to get into and out of. It allows one to sit up high and still have plentiful headroom. see full Hyundai Azera review |

Easy step-in combined with excellent headroom means my 96 year old mother in law can get in and out without effort! She can cross her legs when seated. see full Hyundai Azera review |

The pitch between front and rear seats is huge. The rear door opens wider than almost any other current model, and my 97 year old mother in law can get in and out easily. see full Hyundai Azera 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 |

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 |

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 |

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'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 |

Limited space for larger passengers. see full Ford Focus review |

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 |
