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 Infiniti EX Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr SUV 297-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	More room than the other vehicles we looked at, example, G37 Sedan. see full Infiniti EX review

2008 Infiniti EX Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr SUV 297-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	In agreement with 99% of all other reviews...back seat is a little small but it isn't to say that you cannot sit back there. Taller people may be a little cramped with head and legroom depending on how far back the front seat is positioned see full Infiniti EX review
2009	4dr SUV 297-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The back seat is small, not a problem for my wife and I, it works just fine for our limited use. see full Infiniti EX review
2008	4dr SUV 297-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The rear seat is pretty tight on this car. It is not really meant to haul around families as much as empty nesters or women that need some extra room in the trunk. I'm 5'10 and can barely fit in the back seat if the front seat is positioned for someone of my height. see full Infiniti EX review
2008	4dr SUV 297-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Snug fit. see full Infiniti EX review
2008	4dr SUV 297-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Little rear seat room. see full Infiniti EX review
2008	4dr SUV 297-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Leg room cramped for tall passengers. see full Infiniti EX review
