Default Comfort 2016/17 GS FSport Seats

Are the FSport seat comfortable (long distance driving)? I wasn't impressed with the comfort on both the RX & NX sport seats. The GS FSport look like an altogether different animal. The also have a huge thigh extension which I don't think is available on the non-FSport GS. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

Best seats ever. No one beats the thigh support if you're tall!

Firm but very supportive and comfortable. They are much less confining than RX/NX F-sport seats.

The non F-Sport models have the thigh support too.

The thigh support extenders are on the F Sport and the Luxury trims.

I have long legs, so I love the thigh support extenders. I even made sure to get them on my Highlander.

I think there may be some small differences in the F Sport seats from 16 on but I believe they're mostly the same. The F Sport driver's seat in my '15 GS has been amazing. Excellent comfort for both around town and on longer trips (6 hours is the longest I've gone).

Love the seats! The lower back lumbar is very good as are the side back bolsters which are also memory programmable. It's adjustable in almost every way and very cozy for long drives and adjustable to hold you in place if your doing some sporty driving.

Thanks for the reply's everyone. Oddly enough I found a 2016 GS350 with Lux package that had the fsport seat with the thigh extenders. Was that an option for high spec no-fsport GS's? I've never seen this on any non-fsport model.

The Luxury Package comes with 18-way power-adjustable front seats.

That's the best part, in my opinion, about the luxury package. You get the thigh support extender for both front seats. The F Sport only gets it for the driver. My front passenger seat is nowhere near as comfortable as my driver's seat.

Those are part of the luxury package seats. That first picture, the 3 vertical rows of rocker switches on the right side of seat adjustments=lux package. F-sport has 2 rows of vertical switches. And lux package gets thigh support for both front seats.

Love my GS seats. Agree with everyone above loving the thigh extenders and does hold you in place very well.

Do all the F-Sports have the 3 position adjustable headrests from front to rear? Not up & down. I find that my 14 RX does not have this feature which pushes my head too far forward making the seat very uncomfortable.

My '15 does. I can't speak with authority for the other years but I am pretty sure they do.
