2007	4dr SUV 320-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	like riding first class in an airplane see full Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban review
2007	4dr SUV 320-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	There is plenty of space for all of the passengers and personal gear. The bucket seats add a lot of comfort. They also allow some extra room for third row passengers. Leather is the way to go, and the heated seats come in handy on those cold winter days. see full Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban review

2006	4dr SUV 295-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	GMT800 series vehicles fit me better than any other. I prefer the '06 Tahoe to the '09 GMC Sierra i had prior to the Equinox i traded for the Tahoe. The Equinox was okay on a straight road, other than that, it was terrible!

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Lousey seats: uncomfortable and build is cheap and not conforming to human posture. But, seems last several years most cars have lousey, cheap and uncomfortable seats. see full Lexus IS review
2010	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Legroom felt narrow for passenger over tranny tunnel. see full Lexus IS review
2009	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Cramped rear seat. Minimal knee and leg room when there is a front driver/passenger. Minimal room for the toddler when sitting in a car seat. Seats 2 small kids at best. see full Lexus IS review
2009	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Yeah, the back is small but still big enough to handle for the poor rear seat passengers. see full Lexus IS review
2009	4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	This is a small car. Interior seating is comfortable but tight. Unless the driver is very short, forget about the back seat. see full Lexus IS review
2009	4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Don't buy this car if you ever plan on carrying four adults. 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 416-horsepower 5.0L V8 8-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Not enough rear legroom. see full Lexus IS review
