What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2007 Lexus IS

2007 Lexus IS Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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

2007 Lexus IS Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 416-horsepower 5.0L V8 8-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Not enough rear legroom. see full Lexus IS review
2008	4dr Sedan 306-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The rear seat really is too small for adults. The front seats have to be moved forward for adults to sit in the back. see full Lexus IS review
2008	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The rear seats are very comfortable, but TINY. see full Lexus IS review
2008	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Small rear seat. More like a coupe with 4 doors. see full Lexus IS review
2007	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Even large children will struggle to fit. see full Lexus IS review
2007	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	We do not have small children, and only small children could fit back there. see full Lexus IS review
2006	4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	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 2019 Kia Stinger

2019 Kia Stinger Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2018	Spring for the top-of-the-line Stinger GT2, and the Kia's driver seat gains power adjustments for its side bolsters and cushion length. The tested car was a GT1, yet I did not miss these adjustments. The seat fit me very well without them. I did miss the GT2's ventilated seats on hot days. And if your front seat passenger requires 4-way adjustable lumbar or either of you desires upgraded leather, then you'll also want the top trim. The tested Audi S5 Sportback was fitted with optional ventilated seats. Unfortunately, upgrading to these seats deletes the otherwise standard power-adjustable side bolsters (and massage function), and in this car I did miss having them. Compared to the Kia's, the Audi's seats are much firmer and not nearly as form-fitting. In my rating, I've assumed that the S5 Sportback's standard seats can be adjusted to provide better support than the optional ventilated seats. Otherwise I'd rate the Kia's front seats "much better." Moving to the back seat, in either car headroom should be just enough for adults up to about six feet in height. This is a big improvement over the initial iteration of the S5 Sportback. That car never made it to North America because of a severe rear headroom deficiency. When it comes to rear knee and leg room, the Stinger offers about two-and-a-half more inches. Rear seat passengers are likely to prefer the Kia, especially if they can't quite fit behind a tall driver in the S5. see full Kia Stinger review
