2011 Volvo V50 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2011 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 113hp 1.6L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual FWD |
Rear seat is slightly hampered by limited head/leg/sideways room, but for normal sized persons the seat is fantastic for two with splending leg and back support. Car is also very silent, making long drives a pleasure. see full Volvo V50 review |
2010 | 4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.4L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Lots of front seat room. Good dash design accommodates tall passengers with rear facing car seat behind. Seat was vertically adjustable providing lots of hear room. see full Volvo V50 review |

Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2004 | 2dr Hatch 145-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Adequate room for me, at six-foot-six and 275 pounds, and my normal-size wife. The back seat is, well - it's the back seat of a two-door hatchback. see full Ford Focus review |
2004 | 4dr Sedan 145-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
I like seat backs that are firm and have the bolstered sides fairly wide apart for my back comfort. I never get physically tired in this seat. see full Ford Focus review |
2003 | 4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
The original Ford Focus actually had a roomier, more comfortable rear seat than the 2012+. The seat cushion is even high enough off the floor to provide adults with thigh support. see full Ford Focus review |

2004 | 2dr Hatch 145-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Driver's seat collapses like clockwork every 50,000 miles and needs to be replaced. With a used one from a junkyard, since dealer cost is over $1,000. Yeah - a thousand bucks for a manual cloth seat! see full Ford Focus review |

This is fine for small children, but the bench lacks padding. see full Ford Focus review |
