2009 Ford Focus Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||

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 |

Head room was great and the seat adjusted vertically with an easy to use lever. 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 |

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 |

Like sitting on concrete. One minor positive was that the lumbar support was decent, but overall lacking in comfort. 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 |

Car is very responsive and has plenty of power. Automatic shifting is not great but acceptable. see full Ford Focus review |

Well-rounded two-liter engine with very responsive drive-by-wire throttle. Quiet at moderate revs and light throttle, with a little snarl when stood on. PZEV cleanliness. MTX-75 geared a bit short in first through third gears, good on hills and stop/go. see full Ford Focus review |

Power is not sacrificed for economy. Acceleration is quick and there is plenty of passing power. Transmission shifts smoothly, and has a positive feel for each gear. When accelerating hard, the car leaps from gear to gear. see full Ford Focus review |

When sitting at a red light car vibrates. I'm told that vibration is normal. see full Ford Focus review |
