2008 Lexus RX Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2009	4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD	rear seating and space is grand. front cockpit is a bit short and chopped but acceptable. Front seats are not as comfortable as in our 2001 RX 300. The front seats are minimally acceptable. see full Lexus RX review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr SUV 161-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Tight seating in rear unless seats are pulled way fwd. see full Mazda CX-7 review
