| 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 |

We do not have small children, and only small children could fit back there. see full Lexus IS review |

Even large children will struggle to fit. see full Lexus IS review |

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 |
TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2020 Kia Forte
| 2020 Kia Forte Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2019 | I found both rows of seats comfortable in the Kia. Outward visibility from the driver seat is pretty good, though the windshield is raked a bit much for my taste. Rear seat passengers enjoy a cushion comfortably high off the floor (unlike the Civic's) and a relatively open view forward. I personally have issues with the shape of the front seats in compact Hondas. Both their lumbar bulges and their headrests just too far forward. Try thoroughly before buying. see full Kia Forte review | |
