Not very supportive. Felt like a hollowed out barrel. Only support was on the outside edges. see full Lexus ES review |

The rear seat is not much use if the front passengers are over 6ft. Very little head/leg room. But you don’t buy this type of car to haul 4 people around. But in a pinch I’ve had 4 in there, and I’m 6’4”. see full Acura RSX review |
