2013 Ford Focus Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Like other recently designed Fords, the Focus has a tighter rear seat than most competitors. At 5-9, I can sit behind myself with perhaps an inch to spare. see full Ford Focus review

2013 Ford Focus Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr Sedan 103-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD	The front passenger seat is cramped, especially on long journeys. My wife is smaller, so its fine for her, but Im an average sized male, about 5'11" and my left knee always aches after a while. see full Ford Focus review
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
