2009 Toyota Avalon Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Seats are too short. Toyota seats are generally not comfortable, but for a car in this price range I would have expected better. see full Toyota Avalon review

2014 Ford Focus Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
2014	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

2014 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
