2008 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
I love the roominess of the rear seats. Most of my family are moderately large (6ft 220lbs). Two can fit in the back comfortably. see full Infiniti G review |

2009 | 2dr Coupe 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Way to small to be of use with anything but children. see full Infiniti G review |

Tight on head room but to be expected for two door. see full Infiniti G review |
2009 | 2dr Coupe 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
The bolstering is excessive in the lowest setting and the seat belt pulls too hard on my chest. The seat belt also digs into my neck. see full Infiniti G review |

The seats are very comfortable for the size car. see full Lexus IS review |

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 |

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 |
