2007 Lexus IS Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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

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

Rear seat room is extremely limited but it's a Mini...not a mini van! see full Mini Hardtop review
2012 2dr Hatch 121-horsepower 1.6L I4

We're tall and have room to spare. see full Mini Hardtop review
2011 2dr Hatch turbocharged 181hp 1.6L I4

Small children, petite women and Hobbits may sit in the back on short trips. Otherwise, forget it. It's a MINI! see full Mini Hardtop review
