TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Lexus GS
| 2014 Lexus GS Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2014 | The best thing about driving the Lexus GS F Sport two years ago remains the best thing. Its highly adjustable driver seat ranks among the few that are both supportive during aggressive driving and comfortable all the time. Adjustments include bi-level lumber, side bolsters, and thigh support. (Note: You can get the same adjustments on the passenger side, but only with the Luxury Package, not the F Sport.) The Cadillac's seats, while far from punishing, aren't as form-fitting or as comfortable. You also sit lower in the CTS, good for feeling sporty, not so good for seeing out of the car. The larger windows in the Lexus also boost driver confidence. see full Lexus GS review | |

| 2012 | 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Very comfortable seats up front with tons of leg room. see full Kia Sorento review |

The Kia Sorento had very good seating positions in the front for a very tall person, I'm almost 6'5" and was able to fit with the sunroof / panaramic roof. You get a feeling of control and confidence. You do loose about 1" or so with the see full Kia Sorento review |

The third seat was a major factor in our decision process. see full Kia Sorento review |

Need 7 passenger seating and the Sorento has delivered. Used 3rd row quite a few times with children AND adults. No complaints, although 3rd ride was usually no more than one hour. see full Kia Sorento review |

Good size second row seat. Plenty of room for adults and can fit three child car seats. see full Kia Sorento review |

Needs an adjustable second row and a little more cargo room when the third row seat is up. see full Kia Sorento review |

3rd row is tiny, and you are forced to get it, if you want the V-6 see full Kia Sorento review |
