You got the kinda Honda magic seat in the focus. check out the pic, just lift the seat from behind and fold it down. you have a very flat surface. I got the same model, but hatchback, very practical. Nice choice, the sedan is very elegant.

Nice, congratulations!. Good to see another Focus owner with the same model in AL. Yes, the hatchback is more practical than the sedan version I have.

I don't get why this has become a huge thing and why its being referred to as magical. Hasn't the "station wagons" (van variants to be technical); have had these seats since like the 1970s ?

Of course, every car seat can be folded down. Honda has some kind of marketing name called Honda Magic seat. It's cool and very practical. Point is a lot of cars having some kind of seat ridge when they folded down. Because can't lift the seat base, nor adjustable boot floor to match the seat ridge. But in MK3.5 can lift it up in order to make very flatbed without any ridge, so heavy items can push toward easily. This is very handy and practical for C segment hatchback models. ?
