I'm 5' 9" and the front seat room semed cavernous to me. I once had a 6' 5" passenger in the front seat who voiced no complaint. 10. see full BMW 5-Series review |

My car did not have either the sports seats nor the comfort seats, both of which I tried and found superior; significantly so. The 'base' seats in my car were not the best seats I've ever had in a car although in fairness, they did not punish my lower back as once did the seats in my Infiniti G35x. They were adequate; more an ally than a foe. They also lacked meaningful thigh or side bolsters and so were clearly the choice of Buick-minded buyers, and so did not invite spirited driving. I score thm a 6. see full BMW 5-Series review |
2015 Lexus RX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Lexus RX has the roomiest back seat of the three, the Lincoln MKX the tightest. Very tall people will prefer the RX's. At 5-9, I'm not tall, and found the other two back seats much more comfortable, with higher, better shaped cushions providing better thigh support and seat backs that were not overly reclined. The RX's rear seat back felt overly reclined to me even in its most upright position. Since it adjusts, why didn't Lexus engineer it to adjust over a wider range? see full Lexus RX review |
