2018 Lexus LC Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Comment
	The Lexus LC's rear seat makes the front seats seem roomy, but this is to be expected in a high-performance coupe. If you're over 5-4, there won't be enough room for your legs or your head. In a pinch, the rear seat will do, but hardly anyone will use it regularly. see full Lexus LC review
