So far so better than I expected. Gripes: the seat is hard and flat, the steering has no feel past dead center and the suspension is a bit wallowy. Good: good power from a 4 banger, nice high quality interior. Easy to drive and all the controls are very intuitive.

It’s a shame about Toyota and seats now. My 4Runner still has some of the most comfortable seats I’ve ever sat in.

It can't look to much like an ES350.

My ass went numb.

I drove my 4Runner 1000 miles one night and my ass felt normal.

Does it feel grounded to the ground?

Too bad we don’t get the 4-cylinder ES200 and ES250 over here :(

Up to about 65 it's great after that the shocks are a bit too soft.

my folks RAV4 seats are the same way - flat and firm, not terrible, but not very good for long distances.

Turn off stability and traction control. If they are the Michelin Primacys, they do great burnouts....

The seats in my Celica feel nice, but not after two hours.

Does it have adjustable lumbar support?

Lack of steering feel makes me sad.

It's quite disconcerting when you are going 65 around a 45 mph corner.
