2009 Hyundai Azera Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	This car is spacious and very easy to get into and out of. It allows one to sit up high and still have plentiful headroom. see full Hyundai Azera review
2008	4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Easy step-in combined with excellent headroom means my 96 year old mother in law can get in and out without effort! She can cross her legs when seated. see full Hyundai Azera review
2008	4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The pitch between front and rear seats is huge. The rear door opens wider than almost any other current model, and my 97 year old mother in law can get in and out easily. see full Hyundai Azera review

2009 Lexus IS Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
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 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 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
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
