2009 Lexus IS Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	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
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
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 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Yeah, the back is small but still big enough to handle for the poor rear seat passengers. 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
2009	4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Don't buy this car if you ever plan on carrying four adults. 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 416-horsepower 5.0L V8 8-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Not enough rear legroom. see full Lexus IS review

2010	4dr SUV 288-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Better 2nd & 3rd row comfort than the Honda Minivan (this is to be a daily driver for a family with 4 kids under 10) see full GMC Acadia review

2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	There are very few SUVs that can seat 7 VERY comfortably that are not HUGE suburban type SUVs. We are very pleased that the 3rd row can truly seat 3 adults with no issues. I love that I can still load it up at Costco by folding the 3rd seat down! see full GMC Acadia review
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Love how comfy it is-- heated seats, (though I would have loved the 2009 A/C seats on my 2008-- boo hoo!), all the controls-- love the music controls on the steering wheel. see full GMC Acadia review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr SUV 275-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Have taken this car on long trips, 14 hours of driving, multiple days in a row. The front seats are ok but not very comfortable. It's even tiring for the passenger. see full GMC Acadia review
