TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Lexus IS

2014 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

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2010 Infiniti M

2010 Infiniti M Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Sedan 420-horsepower 5.6L V8 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Very comfortable up front. see full Infiniti M review
2011	4dr Sedan 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The footwells are very narrow for a car of this size. This is a side-effect of it being RWD. The "dead" pedal seems to be in the wrong spot, at least for me; it's too far to the right. On the plus side the air conditioned seats are great. It is possible to drive around in 90 degree weather wearing shorts, with the windows down, and feel comfortable. see full Infiniti M review
2011	4dr Sedan 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Very envelopped and comfortable seat, have better padding, and seating posture is better than most of the luxry cars I tried. see full Infiniti M review
2009	4dr Sedan 325-horsepower 4.5L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Huge rear seat with tons of space. Passengers routinly comment on how comfortable it is. Significantly more rear seat room then 5 series BMW. Ininiti G35/37 has more rear seat than the 5 series. see full Infiniti M review

2010 Infiniti M Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Sedan 330-horsepower 3.7L V6 7-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The fronts seats need more bolstering. The BMW 5 series has much, much better seats. If I could change one thing about the car, it would be the seats. Anyone considering this car should sit in the seat at least 30 minutes before making a purchase decision. see full Infiniti M review
