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 |

There are no rear seats in this vehicle. Was considering a 2 seater, but wife was not impressed so obtaining approval from that quarter would have been difficult. see full Nissan 350Z review |
