2009 Lexus ES Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Similar to the front seats, super comfortable and soft. A lot of leg room with an average-sized driver + passenger up front. Rear moonroof gives off the feel of a huge ceiling. see full Lexus ES review

2010 4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Not very supportive. Felt like a hollowed out barrel. Only support was on the outside edges. see full Lexus ES review

the seams in a seat should run front to rear vs. left to right this would make the seat more comfortable. the Toyota Camry leather seats are definitely more comparable... I think Lexis wanted a sportier looking seat but sacrificed comfort in doing see full Lexus ES review

There is simply not enough legroom and three passengers will probably feel very cramped in the back as well. see full Lexus ES review
