TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Lexus IS
| 2013 Lexus IS Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2014 | Following the Germans' lead, many car makers have been fitting firmer and firmer seats. Cadillac might have once been known for seats you could sink deep into, but those in the ATS are the opposite, with too little give and contours that are far from form-fitting. No fear, Lexus hasn't done the same with the IS. Even the more heavily bolstered seats that are part of the F Sport package lack hard points, which helps them provide a slop-free fit for a wide range of body types. (Oddly, you'll find seats similar to these in some Chrysler people haulers.) Personally, I wouldn't mind a little firmer support, but then I also prefer a firm mattress. Notably, the lumbar support in the Lexus IS is only two-way and the spread of the side bolsters is not adjustable. For four-way lumbar support and adjustable side bolsters (plus somewhat firmer support) you need to step up to the larger Lexus GS. see full Lexus IS review | |

| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Large trunk space seems to sacrifise rear seat area. see full Chevrolet Impala review |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 211-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Not enough leg room. see full Chevrolet Impala review |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 233-horsepower 3.9L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
When the drivers seat is all the way back there is little rear seat legroom for tall folks. see full Chevrolet Impala review |
