2014 Lexus IS Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2014 | Following the Germans' lead, many car makers have been fitting firmer and firmer seats. Cadillac might have once been known for seats you could sink deep into, but those in the ATS are the opposite, with too little give and contours that are far from form-fitting. No fear, Lexus hasn't done the same with the IS. Even the more heavily bolstered seats that are part of the F Sport package lack hard points, which helps them provide a slop-free fit for a wide range of body types. (Oddly, you'll find seats similar to these in some Chrysler people haulers.) Personally, I wouldn't mind a little firmer support, but then I also prefer a firm mattress. Notably, the lumbar support in the Lexus IS is only two-way and the spread of the side bolsters is not adjustable. For four-way lumbar support and adjustable side bolsters (plus somewhat firmer support) you need to step up to the larger Lexus GS. see full Lexus IS review |

Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2008 | 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
not enough leg room see full Toyota 4Runner review |
2007 | 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
This is a vehicle designed for people 5 fett 11 inches and under - no two ways about it. If you are 5 feel 11 or over you will not enjoy this truck. see full Toyota 4Runner review |
2007 | 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
The consequence of reducing overall height while maintaining trail worthy obstacle clearance is a relatively low to floor seating position more attune to sedans. Seats are comfortable though even for a big framed person. see full Toyota 4Runner review |
2007 | 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Seat position low to floor leaves you sitting with a knee high position. Seats itself are comfortable, but there is no space for your feet under the front seats. All floor surfaces are almost flat though considering it truck roots. see full Toyota 4Runner review |

Not a power seat. Cannot get it into an optimum adjustment. see full Toyota 4Runner review |
