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

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

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

2010	4dr Sedan 177-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Lumbar support is too aggressive, and it is non-adjustable in the LX model. I have gotten used to them, but they are nowhere near the same league as my previously owned Saabs and BMWs. see full Honda Accord review
