What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2007 Lexus IS

2007 Lexus IS Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
The seats are very comfortable for the size car. see full Lexus IS review
2006 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
The good of the front seat comfort is that the seats are ventilated. They could be stronger and cooler but that is my preference. Why is it that we cant get Audis, BMWs, or Lexus with fabric seats in the US? see full Lexus IS review

2008 4dr Sedan 416-horsepower 5.0L V8
8-speed shiftable automatic RWD
Not enough rear legroom. see full Lexus IS review
2008 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
The rear seat really is too small for adults. The front seats have to be moved forward for adults to sit in the back. see full Lexus IS review
2008 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
The rear seats are very comfortable, but TINY. see full Lexus IS review
2008 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6

Small rear seat. More like a coupe with 4 doors. see full Lexus IS review
2007 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
Even large children will struggle to fit. see full Lexus IS review
2007 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
We do not have small children, and only small children could fit back there. see full Lexus IS review
2006 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
The front seat headrests are too far back for me. I feel if I use them I am looking at the sky because of their angle. I would prefer some fwd-rev adjustment which i have seen on other cars. see full Lexus IS review

2007 Audi A3 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD
Really just a 4 place vehicle...3 across in the rear is not comfortably possible. see full Audi A3 review
2008 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD
Slightly too close to each other in arm room. see full Audi A3 review
2007 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD
Due to the position of the doors it is hard to get in and out of the car. see full Audi A3 review
2007 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD
The back seat is too small for most adults. I hadn't thought about it much when I bought the car, but it became apparent. I'd take friends to lunch and they are uncomfortable.Even ifa personplans on sitting small children in the back, they grow and the useful life of the car is affected. I wish the Europeans would figure that out. see full Audi A3 review
2006 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual FWD
The Subaru has a more comfortable and roomy back seat, with easier ingress/egress. see full Audi A3 review
