2013 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 |

It took a while for me to adjust the seat properly, but after I did, I have to say the seating position and comfort rivaled many European sedans I have driven. I was not used to this level of comfort from an Asian-designed automobile. see full Mazda Mazda6 review |

For short trips the Speed6 is fine. Longer than 2 hours in the car kills my back. Maybe the seats are cheaper in the Sport vs. the GT. Fortunately I've only taken 1 or 2 very long trips in it. see full Mazda Mazda6 review |
