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 | 4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
I love the roominess of the rear seats. Most of my family are moderately large (6ft 220lbs). Two can fit in the back comfortably. see full Infiniti G review |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Way to small to be of use with anything but children. see full Infiniti G review |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Tight on head room but to be expected for two door. see full Infiniti G review |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
The bolstering is excessive in the lowest setting and the seat belt pulls too hard on my chest. The seat belt also digs into my neck. see full Infiniti G review |
