2017 Audi TT Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2016	The new Audi TT's seats rank among the best for support and comfort, something of a surprise since they are in a sports car, not a luxury sedan, and don't have many adjustments. The more powerful, more expensive TTS has front seats with adjustable side bolsters, but these aren't offered in the regular TT. The sport package for the BMW 2 Series includes seats with adjustable bolsters, yet they can't be made to fit my form as well as the Audi's do. Nor can those in larger, more expensive Audis. Puzzling. see full Audi TT review

2017 Audi TT Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	Many people will probably leave the rear seat folded, as head room and legroom are both scant. People much over five feet in height simply won't fit. Even a BMW 2 Series has a considerably roomier rear seat. see full Audi TT review

2007 Lexus IS Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2007	4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The seats are very comfortable for the size car. see full Lexus IS review
2006	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The good of the front seat comfort is that the seats are ventilated. They could be stronger and cooler but that is my preference. Why is it that we cant get Audis, BMWs, or Lexus with fabric seats in the US? see full Lexus IS review

2007 Lexus IS Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 416-horsepower 5.0L V8 8-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Not enough rear legroom. see full Lexus IS review
2008	4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The rear seat really is too small for adults. The front seats have to be moved forward for adults to sit in the back. see full Lexus IS review
2008	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The rear seats are very comfortable, but TINY. see full Lexus IS review
2008	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Small rear seat. More like a coupe with 4 doors. see full Lexus IS review
2007	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Even large children will struggle to fit. see full Lexus IS review
2007	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	We do not have small children, and only small children could fit back there. see full Lexus IS review
2006	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The front seat headrests are too far back for me. I feel if I use them I am looking at the sky because of their angle. I would prefer some fwd-rev adjustment which i have seen on other cars. see full Lexus IS review
