2010 Lexus IS Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2010 | 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Legroom felt narrow for passenger over tranny tunnel. see full Lexus IS review |

Lousey seats: uncomfortable and build is cheap and not conforming to human posture. But, seems last several years most cars have lousey, cheap and uncomfortable seats. see full Lexus IS review |
2009 | 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Cramped rear seat. Minimal knee and leg room when there is a front driver/passenger. Minimal room for the toddler when sitting in a car seat. Seats 2 small kids at best. see full Lexus IS review |
2009 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
This is a small car. Interior seating is comfortable but tight. Unless the driver is very short, forget about the back seat. see full Lexus IS review |

Don't buy this car if you ever plan on carrying four adults. see full Lexus IS review |

Yeah, the back is small but still big enough to handle for the poor rear seat passengers. see full Lexus IS review |
2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
The Giulia's rear seat is roomier than those in the the similarly driver-oriented Cadillac and Jaguar. But, firm and poorly shaped, it isn't comfortable. The roomier and much more comfortable rear seat in the Audi A4 easily wins this one. see full Alfa Romeo Giulia review |
