Default GS350 to G37 Vert... funny observations

I went to wash our G37 Vert (since that is the only way it will get washed) today. When I got in, I moved my pre-set seating to #2, which lowers the seating, moves it back, etc. It made me realize how high I've been sitting in my GS and made me feel like I was sitting in a bathtub.

I remember loving sitting low in my S5 Cab, but I'd forgotten the difference now that I've been driving my GS for a few months. The funniest thing of all was looking at that little, tiny display screen in the G37 after seeing the huge one in the GS. It seemed about the size of an IPod Touch compared to the one in the GS.

Anyway, I wasn't tempted to start driving the G37 Vert. The GS does everything well and the seats fit like a glove. I sat like a gang-banger for years before but it has converted me!

big diff. my mom asked me to move her corolla and when i got in i said to myself "are you serious". had to lean forward too see a piece of the hood. the GS seats are among the best i've put my tail in. i feel you, i'm not comfortable in another driver seat..... i think we're spoiled

I'm getting used to sitting higher in the GS but I do miss sitting low in the G35. The GS is definitely more comfortable. I think we are just getting older, needier, and of course spoiled!

LOL... I dont feel like that when I drive my TT and it sits low on the ground.

I do love the way the GS drive though. It's comfy and yet sporty in Sport+

My wife is used to her RX400h, and even my last car, an ES350, was a little low for her. The GS bucket seat was uncomfortable for her until she raised it to nearly the maximum. I sit really low, right at the bottom height, so she towered over me on our last ride in the GS.

for about 2 weeks i guess my seating position was a little too far back and the seat back was reclined as well, it felt comfy, but i felt as if i never really had control of the car.

i adjusted my seat according to the following vid-

feels much better now, i feel as i have actual control of the car now but it does seem that i am a bit foo close lol
