2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr SUV 259-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed manual AWD w/low range	Rear seats are cramped. Access is awful, with strange half-doors that require front doors to be open before they can be opened. see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2008	4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Too stiff and too upright with no adjustments see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
2008	4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Adults do not fit well in the back seat comfortably, and the rear access doors, while a cool design, lack functionality(no handle to release the door except on the inside) see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review

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

2007 Lexus ES Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Similar to the front seats, super comfortable and soft. A lot of leg room with an average-sized driver + passenger up front. Rear moonroof gives off the feel of a huge ceiling. see full Lexus ES review

2007 Lexus ES Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2008	4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	There is simply not enough legroom and three passengers will probably feel very cramped in the back as well. see full Lexus ES review
2008	4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	the seams in a seat should run front to rear vs. left to right this would make the seat more comfortable. the Toyota Camry leather seats are definitely more comparable... I think Lexis wanted a sportier looking seat but sacrificed comfort in doing see full Lexus ES review
2007	4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Had a ton of trouble with front seat comfort - had to trade it in after only 4 mos. Even my daughter's Sonata was more comfortable. Did everything i could to rectifiy - even had firmer cushions put into driver seat. Others have had the same issue. see full Lexus ES review
2007	4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Most awful front seats i have ever experienced in 40 yrs of driving. I have done everything i can to make it comfortable. Even had extra firmer padding added to the driver seat. Pain in my leg and lower back is unbearable - check forums for Lexus owners - seems to be a problem with taller men and even some women. Never ever had a problem like this in any car i have had or driven. Strange issue. see full Lexus ES review
2007	4dr Sedan 272-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	If tall person sits in front seat, rear seat will not have a lot of legroom. Otherwise, very comfortable. Poor interior lighting in rear (front is bad, too, but slightly better). see full Lexus ES review
