2011 | 4dr Sedan 420-horsepower 5.6L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Very comfortable up front. see full Infiniti M review |
2011 | 4dr Sedan 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The footwells are very narrow for a car of this size. This is a side-effect of it being RWD. The "dead" pedal seems to be in the wrong spot, at least for me; it's too far to the right. On the plus side the air conditioned seats are great. It is possible to drive around in 90 degree weather wearing shorts, with the windows down, and feel comfortable. see full Infiniti M review |

The fronts seats need more bolstering. The BMW 5 series has much, much better seats. If I could change one thing about the car, it would be the seats. Anyone considering this car should sit in the seat at least 30 minutes before making a purchase decision. see full Infiniti M review |
2018 Lexus LC Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Lexus LC's rear seat makes the front seats seem roomy, but this is to be expected in a high-performance coupe. If you're over 5-4, there won't be enough room for your legs or your head. In a pinch, the rear seat will do, but hardly anyone will use it regularly. see full Lexus LC review |
