2007 Mazda CX-7 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV turbocharged 244hp 2.3L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	seats in rear are tight, they do not slide or recline where as Honda CRV rear seats are much more flexible for kids and families. My crv is 2007 and the rear seats recline and the entire bench can slide front and back to create instant leg room see full Mazda CX-7 review
2007	4dr SUV turbocharged 244hp 2.3L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Tested CX-7s with both cloth and leather seats. Both materials thin and not supportive. Cloth seats lumpy with uneven feeling surface. see full Mazda CX-7 review

2011 Ford Focus Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
2010	The rear seat is fairly comfortable--if you fit. Many compacts have roomier back seats. see full Ford Focus review

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
