I have been driving Volvos for 45 years, starting with a PV444. With every model the seats are the most comfortable and best support for driving. They provide leg, lumbar, and side support, and both driver and passenger seats have 6 way controls. see full Volvo V70 review |

Can travel for hours without feeling need to stop and stretch. Seat heaters are great too. see full Volvo V70 review |

We got the sports package just for the seats. Fantastic comfort over long long drives! see full Volvo V70 review |

Nice sport seats. Much better than the latest 2008 offerings from Volvo. see full Volvo V70 review |

Its luxurious, comfy, supportive, and decreases driver fatigue on long trips. We have a history of back and neck issues in our family and have never had an increase in symptoms while in a Volvo. This is the most comfortable car we have found for family. see full Volvo V70 review |

I meant to choose the rear seat item. It could use more leg room in the rear. In the process of putting a lot of cargo space and comfortable front seat in a short car, the rear leg room took the hit. see full Volvo V70 review |

Tight for adults. Better than much of the competition, but the leg room could be better. see full Volvo V70 review |

Not enough legroom for this size automobile. Cupholders are too small and hard to use. see full Volvo V70 review |

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 |
