What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2007 Lexus IS

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

What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Volvo C30

2012 Volvo C30 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5
6-speed manual FWD		 The front seats are wonderful. I tend to get stiff and sore when I sit too long in a car, especially my old VW GTI and our other VW Passat wagon. These seats in the C30 are very comfortable and I felt good getting out after a long drive. see full Volvo C30 review
2011 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Excellent support for very long drives. Passengers in the rear say the same. see full Volvo C30 review
2012 Volvo C30 Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Lack of leg room. This car is a two seater. see full Volvo C30 review
