6'+ IS-F drivers?
I don't own an IS-F yet, but I spent some seat time in one a few days ago and found it to be ''snug''
which concerns me for extended drives.
I'm 6'1 and 185lbs with an athletic build and when I purchase one it will become a 3 seater because no one will be allowed to sit behind me.
I had a S2000 before and I did like the cockpit feel. Everything is where it should be.
For you taller guys how is the IS-F for extended commutes? say..30 miles? Feel cramped or do you like the ''cockpit'' style feel of it?

You should be fine. The rear is really tight though, so you're right about not having anyone sit comfortably behind you. The great thing about the seats is that they extend/recline back nicely and can almost lay flat.

I'm 6'2 220 and the fit feels okay, its the best seat I've ever sat in...
But, every now and then I do notice my line of sight is sort of at the headliner.... I also wonder how its going to be with a helmet, as my hair rubs the sunroof at times.

Have a Paintless dent removal guy make you a Gurney bubble?

I am also 6' 3" - 225 and I fit with only some minor inconveniences. My hair, what little I have, does hit the ceiling. With the F having a not so gentle ride, I find that I turn my head a bit to the side when I go over some bumps so I don't hit the ceiling too hard. Other than that, I don't have any issues. I have a 19 mile commute that takes any where from 35 mins to an hour an a half. I never feel cramped and the seat really fits me like a glove.
I also don't know how I will be able to go to the track and wear a helmet, but I look forward to trying!

I'm 6'05" and 275. No issues what so ever. The F has a couple more inches leg room in it that my previous BMW 645ci. Getting in and out of this car is a lot easier as well.
Try sitting in a C63 AMG, now that's snug!! (it was the other car I was pondering)

I'm 5'11 and on the skinny side with long limbs and I fit perfectly... the way I sit now only a baby would be able to sit behind me.. but the seats are so comfortable that even when I ferry my friends I move the seat forward and still comfortably have room. It's a good thing the 10-way adjustable seats move up and down as well.
I haven't been on a road trip with friends, but did drive to MD and back (~4hrs drive each way) with no issues. The car feels great on road trips, not to mention I got 28MPG as well.

6' 2" 190 lbs (235 lbs when I bought the car in '08). I just drove from Atlanta to Dallas and back the weekend before last with a friend 6' 1" 178 lbs. Seat is great for the long haul as long as you adjust it to make sure you have adequate thigh support.
