| 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 |

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 |

We do not have small children, and only small children could fit back there. see full Lexus IS review |

Even large children will struggle to fit. see full Lexus IS review |

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 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan
| 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2014 | Based on the specs, the Tiguan suffers from insufficient dimensions. It's 3.6 inches less lengthy than the Escape, and as a result has an inch less legroom. And the Ford falls near the bottom of the segment in this spec. In the real world, though, the Tiguan's rear seat feels roomier and more comfortable than the Escape's and in the ballpark with the class leaders. A relatively large seat bottom is high enough off the floor to provide adults with thigh support. The rear seat back is more comfortably shaped than the compact crossover norm, and reclines. One nit: hard plastic isn't the most comfortable surface for a rear armrest. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review | |

Outstanding. I'm 6'0 & only have the seat 1/2 way back. Lots of front & rear seat room. see full Volkswagen Tiguan review |
