2010 4dr Sedan 204-horsepower 2.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Lousey seats: uncomfortable and build is cheap and not conforming to human posture. But, seems last several years most cars have lousey, cheap and uncomfortable seats. see full Lexus IS review

YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 3rd row seats are big enough and comfortable enough for an adult. 2nd row seats are the best captain chairs I have ever sat in in a car. Glass roof gives additional room appearance. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review

2006 4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 The STANDARD leather seating surfaces on the 2006 front seats - way better feel than artico leather. The adjustment range to get things just right and the head rest. Very cozy. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review

7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 3 row seating see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2006 4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6

2006 4dr SUV 302-horsepower 5.0L V8
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Seating for 6. Great for kids. Easy to get into. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
