I can not see over the steering wheel and the right side of the car because the seat does not sit upright. My back does not sit against the seat either. I have called Corporate Lexus numerous times and told them of the problem and they sa;y too bad. If I have an accident, which has never happened in the past, they are certainly responsible. The 2008 LExus 450 seat has been changed which means that Lexus acknowledges this problem and changed it. The dealership can not put a 2008 seat into my 2007 since the interior was changed drastically. The bottom of the seat is like sitting on slab of concrete. The interior reading light is so dim that one can no longer read in the auto unless the door is opened. I now get about 15.9- 17 miles to the gallon when I was promised better mileage than my last Lexus 400 series (I used to get 20-21 miles to the gallon). It is difficult to start the car with the remote key. I have to depress the pedal sometimes 4-5 times to be able to get the car started. I think the car has died and then it turns over. I have two more years of misery with this car unless I can get another auto dealership to take over my lease 6 months before it expires. Beware of Lexus. It's expensive and not at all comfortable to drive
