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 |

2009 Nissan cube Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2010 | 4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD |
Unparalleled rear seat room and comfort in this car for passengers. Should be among the easier cars of this size to put a baby seat into the back, if we have children. Our (longer and lower) 2004 Sentra paled in comparison of back seat usability. see full Nissan cube review |
2010 | 4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD |
Adults can sit there in comfort. see full Nissan cube review |
2009 | 4dr Hatch 122-horsepower 1.8L I4 CVT FWD |
SEATS ARE COMFY FOR LONG TRIPS. DO NOT BEAT THE HELL OUT OF YOU. see full Nissan cube review |
