6ft, 265. My hair rubbed the headliner with the seat all the way down. However, the size of my *** contributed to that. I sit in a mild/aggressive driving position though, as to be able to reach the steering wheel with both hands up to half a turn. Did a lot of performance driving with my GTO and G35 and I just feel best with that driving position. If I ghetto leaned, I'd have been fine. However, I ended up switching my IS250 AWD with my mother for her RX350. The GS isn't much better, but again, I have a huge *** which places me higher in the seat.

I am 6' 4" 220.
the only thing i dont like about the IS is that the steergin wheel doesnt come ot far enough, so i have to sit closer to the front and my legs arent as comfortable as id like.
as far as driving agressivelly I move up more and its fine.

Hey Im 6' and about 220lbs. I fit perfectly in the car. The only thing is that if i have a full car with 4-5 people then its a problem because I put the seat all the way back and with the IS there is not much room left in the back if you seats all the way back. But mostly i use the car all myself so it only those sometimes when going out with friends or something.

I had just under 60k on it when I traded it for my F. I bought it July 22, 2006, traded it on December 13, 2008 with 59,3xx miles on it. I'm taking it a lot easier on the F for mileage.

im 6'1 and 250. the only person who can sit behind me confortoably is one of my friends who is 4'11 i think it is. the thing i dont like about the IS is how the steering wheel doesnt go up higher. also i dont think the bottom seat cushion is long enough. i have long legs so those two things annoy me. otherwise im fine dirivng the IS everyday.

I'm 6'2, 185. I drive with the seat almost all the way back, so anybody taller than 5'5 - 5'7 is not going to be terribly comfortable sitting behind me for any length of time. I've never driven my car more than a few hundred miles in any given day, but I've always been comfortable driving regardless the distance. I would say this car is probably too small for you if you are regularly going to have 4/5 large adults in your car; as far as the driver is concerned I think your comfort is going to be comparable to the GS.

I'm 5'-7"....Front Seat is okay, enough room for me and very comfortable. I tried to sit in the back and .......it SUX! if you're 5'-7 or taller and sitting in the back? i Would rather get outside and run. =P okay okay i'm overexxagerating...but meefer is right......no fun in the back.
