I was wondering if anyone has a comment about the front seat comfort for 6'+ drivers in the 2016 ES 350? The rear seat seems very comfortable but I wonder how the front seat roominess affects tall drivers after they have experienced the car for a few months.

I am 6 feet tall.. My only comment is that the top of my head hits the top of the headrest. There feels to be a plastic shell in the headrest, and my head hits the tippy top of it.

At the next service I plan on taking tip the service dept to see if some additional foam can be put in there.

The seats are otherwise perfect fit me with no complaints.

We have a 2016 ES350 and I am 6'3" so I can offer a assessment in that regard. Just back from a 300 mile road highway road trip and as far as ergonomics, it was just fine, i.e., no real complaints. The car overall is a pleasure to drive and comfortable with adequate legroom (I am 34"+ inseam). Would I like a couple inches more? Of course, then I could really stretch out and wiggle the toes. Of course on a rural stretch of highway (or a long airplane trip for that matter) I have been known to flip my shoes off if I really want those last couple inches.

Didn't notice the headrest thing. Our seats are the nuluxe? variety and they were more than adequate comfort-wise. If I had to criticize anything, it is that I need to have the seat in the lowest position in order to gain the most leg and headroom, i.e., they could always give us size challenged people a few more inches, including shoulder room so I don't feel pressed to have to rest my arm on the center console. But that is just nitpicking.

Just purchased a 2016 ES because my son is 6'5, and I am 6'4. Family has always owned Tahoes because of our size. We sat in the ES and intermediately loved the roominess. I am able to be very comfortable up front and he still has room in the back seat. Our first choice of car was the Acura TL but the headroom was not even close to the ES.

Thanks for the replies!

We have a 2015 es300H, with automatic seat adjustments and I'm 6'3". We just finished a second trip SF to Los Angeles and back. I'm really tall in the torso but can still wear my Tilley hat while driving. Further making minor adjustments to the steering wheel and seat back during long drives way makes for driving comfort. Reclining in the passenger seat puts me to sleep. The tight cornering also promotes a smooth ride.

I haven't gotten used to the backup camera as I've always used side mirrors for backing in my Nissan SUV. I do like the closeness senors on all four corners. Saved some dings so far.

If anything, I have the opposite concern. I"m short, 5'6" and have some concerns about the ES350/ES300h - because the seat seems very low down to the floor and even at maximum height setting, it is not as high as I would like. I am comparing to my 2005 ES330 where the seat goes up pretty high at max setting.

I had an ES300h for a day, and just felt that I was sitting too low down. So now, I'm waffling, thinking of getting an RX instead (but CPO 2014 or so, as the cost of new is too high).

My wife has the same problem.. She's 5 ft tall and she can't see the bottom of the nav screen and complains that the top of the dash is too high.

My wife is also 5' tall but has not complained. She just has the seat up as far as it can go.
