C300 vs Lexus IS Fsport
I went to test drive the Lexus Fsport.
The car seating was very uncomfortable and felt like I was sitting in a cockpit.
It has a huge awkward box in between the two seats. Not appealing to the eye.
My arm was resting way outside of the searing and I’m a small person.5’2
The sales person said it’s because I’m use to the Benz.
She also said the regular Lexus IS seats are not as curved.
I thought I would share my experience.
I currently drive a c300.

I drove the F Sport and C300 before picking up my C400 and I liked the C300 hands down over the F Sport. The Lexus felt heavy and immobile while the MB felt light and nimble. I also preferred the interior of Mercedes as well over the Lexus. All around the MB won for me.

The F Sport seats could feel that way due to all the sporty bolstering... you have to get the adjustments just right. Even still, I thought the seats were very comfortable. The cabin itself is narrower than the C Class plus the dash dramatically comes into the center console taking major space in an already narrow cabin.
