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

2007 Lexus IS Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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

2007 Lexus IS Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	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

TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Ford C-MAX

2014 Ford C-MAX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	There's plenty of space for adults in the back seat of the C-MAX. But the seat is mounted too low to provide thigh support, and between this and the angle of the floor I could find no comfortable way to position my legs and feet. There's a huge amount of headroom, so this was not the limiting factor. Instead, the seat seems to be so low to enable a flat floor when it is folded without requiring that the seat bottom be folded separately from the seat back. Combine the low seat with a high beltline (bottom of the side windows), and children can't see out well. see full Ford C-MAX review
