The overall cubic feet is not a valuable piece of data. You need to compare actual measurements like hip room, leg room, etc. I am sure the Focus has a tall cabin, so much of the increase in cubic feet is useless unless you are over 6 feet tall.

I just did my own search online; according to my research, the 2011 Mercury Grand Marquis had 108 cubic feet of passenger volume, and the 2012 Fusion has 100.

That measurement includes the hatch space, an area where people don't actually sit. Full size cars have what they call trunks for cargo space; an area in my car that a hatchback Focus could probably fit in.

Thank you for your comment, but we are talking about actual passenger space, and not passenger space including cargo space, which takes the place of a trunk on a hatchback.

OK then, full size cars may not have as much interior room as some mid sized ones these days, but they without a doubt have more room under the hood, and that's what matters to Joe Soap when he needs to do his own work on his own car.
