2014 Lexus CT Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2014 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Lexus design is in a class of its own. The interior layout is straight and simple, and everything is where you expect it to be. Although faced with great swathes leather and technology in front of the driver, the most noticeable feature was how comfortable the seats were. Eve in the lowest-price Lexus available sat thrones on par with top-tier German luxury. Simple, I admit, but it?s important, and Lexus has nailed it. see full Lexus CT review |
