Hey,
I searched but cannot find a definitive answer. Does the LS drivers seat have two options? This is getting funny but in the ten years I've been here I really am noticing "seat comfort", something in the past I pretty much overlooked. I sat in a LS 460 L and the seats were magnificent. The seat had extensions that went under your legs and the seats had more adjustments than normal to me.

I've sat in quite a few LSs before but for some reason I am not sure if this is standard or optional.

Also does the Sport LS have these seats? I am sure the 600h L does. THanks

16 way driver seat adjustment (and 12 for passenger) is standard for all ls460, and that includes the sports if i am correct

 

Seat comfort is just as much about an individual's physique and tolerance, as it is about construction and flexibility. There is/was no difference between the 460 or the 600 in '07-'09; can't comment about '10 though. I suppose if you throw in semi-aniline leather which might be softer, that may be a factor, although s-a is more about color dye penetration. In my case, I weigh about 155 lbs, so the TSIB bump was not apparent. I noticed a difference when I switched to the RX right away, but have gotten used to it since. I still remember my RX7 cloth seats as being quite comfortable, but this in terms of support for the type of driving I did. I guess I'm quite tolerant and adaptable, because I'm not that sensitive to one way or another. The only time it becomes an issue for me is on long road trips, where seat cooling and the ability to adjust the seat on-the-fly are definite pluses.

 

Thanks. So they ALL have the seat extension on the drivers side. The LS seat is so much more comfier than my GS with many more adjustments.

 

oh yeah, they aren't even close. the ls460 seats are far far better than the 3gs seats

 

The extension cushion was also on the LS 430. The '10 LS 460 gets the sliding entry/exit seat.

 

Ah ha, a feature that I really like on the RX, among others that I'm certain will make their way across to a future Gen... The RX is surprisingly well appointed...

 

so you think the entry/exit seat setup is great?

 

The only difference between the standard and Sport LS seats is that the Sport seats have exagerated seat cushion and back rest bolsters for more lateral support when going around curves. All the adjustments are the same.

 

Wait so this is the feature where the entire seat moves fore/aft right? If so I loved this feature as well.

Thanks

 

i think encore refers to the new feature when when you shut off the car, it used to be the that just the steering wheel retracts and tilts up. but now the driver seat will also lower and slide back for easier entry/exit. i tried that on the new rx, pretty cool

 

Oh....

You know my body is getting older when I'm talking about SEATS on Clublexus and not mods

 

lol or it's an indication for you to upgrade again soon?

 

Right, previously one could set the 3rd seat memory to do the same (except for having to press the button each time), but this new slide back is better. On the RX anyway, the LPS gives the driver a choice of three settings, halfway back, all the way back, or simply off altogether. Since the LPS choices are User accessible on the RX, it's a simple procedure to set it up on the screen and/or make changes anytime.

 

finally, some setting that we can change ourselves!
