I'm 6 foot also and i have plenty of room... Take it from the guys that are over 6 foot... The GS is perfect for them I think the car has just enough room....

We'll i'm 5'6. Maybe its just the shape of the car. The Legend sits lower than the GS400, so maybe that's why it feels bigger in the legend.


None the less it's not too bad.

I'm 6'6", 230 and fit just fine. Cut a hole in your floorboard and stick the left foot out for more room....

GSTeg, It could also be the lumbar support. It doesn't affect the height of the seat but it could affect how you position yourself in the seat.

My wife uses it but I hate it. It isn't controlled by the "Seat Memory" so whenever I get in the car after my wife it feels odd and I can't alway figure out what it is. I start changing the seat position and just can't get "right". Then I remember its the lumbar support.

Such unfamiliar language!!!! Thinking he can't possibly be talking about his wife driving the beautiful piece of machinery we call the 'car'. I thought that only happened in third world countries, not here in the U.S

LOL

Let me clarify: Sometimes we "let" them bring the car around to the front of the house

The seating position was quite comfortable actually.

I guess I was expecting too much out of the GS. Then again, my legend (first car) is pretty big itself. Now if I went from a honda civic to a gs400 and said the gs400 is small, then you'll know i'm on crack
