2017 Lexus IS Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2016 | For me, the front bucket seats in Lexus F Sport models provide a nearly ideal blend of comfort and support. Even when they don't lack lateral support, the seats in competitors don't fit my form as well. Infiniti doesn't offer the Q50 2.0t in Sport form. The standard car's front seats provide little lateral support. The instrument panel appears larger and more imposing in the Infiniti than in the Lexus. Still, I wish the view forward were a little more open in the latter. (The Cadillac ATS is better in this regard.) Lexus lowered the driving position compared to the previous IS to help the car feel sportier. I raised the seat some to compensate. Adding all-wheel-drive to the Lexus IS (and a V6 engine with it, AWD isn't offered with the 2.0T engine) adds another issue, a large hump beneath the driver's right calf. Some drivers might find they have to adjust how they sit to avoid this hump. see full Lexus IS review |

2015 Nissan Murano Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2015 | I nearly ranked the new Nissan Murano's front seats ahead of its styling as reasons to buy one. With form-fitting contours and cushy-yet-supportive construction "inspired by NASA," they're that good. I wasn't able to drive the Murano all day, but felt like I easily could have. The 2015 Ford Edge's driver seat didn't initially strike me as especially comfortable. It felt flatter and less luxurious than that in the Nissan. But over the course of my test drive it seemed to fit and support me better and better. By the end it seemed very comfortable, yet still not quite as good as the Nissan's. The Edge Titanium's seats have a sportier appearance and shape than the SEL's, and might provide more lateral support. see full Nissan Murano review |
