TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2016 Lexus IS
| 2016 Lexus IS Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2016 | For me, the front bucket seats in Lexus F Sport models provide a nearly ideal blend of comfort and support. Even when they don't lack lateral support, the seats in competitors don't fit my form as well. Infiniti doesn't offer the Q50 2.0t in Sport form. The standard car's front seats provide little lateral support. The instrument panel appears larger and more imposing in the Infiniti than in the Lexus. Still, I wish the view forward were a little more open in the latter. (The Cadillac ATS is better in this regard.) Lexus lowered the driving position compared to the previous IS to help the car feel sportier. I raised the seat some to compensate. Adding all-wheel-drive to the Lexus IS (and a V6 engine with it, AWD isn't offered with the 2.0T engine) adds another issue, a large hump beneath the driver's right calf. Some drivers might find they have to adjust how they sit to avoid this hump. see full Lexus IS review | |

| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.8L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Few cars offer the marriage of rear wheel drive performance with this amount of back seat room for the longer ride (travelling) with 4 adults. see full Hyundai Genesis review |

No discomfort noted on several trips of 250+ miles. Adjustable lumbar support is very nice (not just in/out, but also up/down). see full Hyundai Genesis review |

almost Teutonic front seats see full Hyundai Genesis review |

First, I am a tall person and the seatbelt height adjustment does not go high enough, so if an accident should occur I believe that the shoulder belt will slip off. Also, the seats could be built more comfortable, more sporty. see full Hyundai Genesis review |
