I have good headroom and I'm 6'2", try putting the seat as low as possible.

I'm 6'6" and have never had an issue, the seat gives you way too many options to even make it a concern.

This is my one beef with the GS. I'm 6' even and think the head room is terrible. I do have the seat all of the way down and probably more vertical than most people like. I don't like it reclined too much. I would guess I have about 1 1/2" of clearance. There's not enough room to wear any kind of hat while driving. Now the wife's RX on the other hand, there must be about 4" of clear headroom there.

The non sunroof GS's have tons of headroom. My friend is 6'5" and there's plenty of clearance when hes in the car.

Not to hijack the thread but this is interesting. The sunroof really makes this much difference in headroom over the driver's area? I'll give up wearing a hat for the sunroof, but a nice bit of Lexus trivia if it's true.

Six Foot One. No issues. Sometimes when I throw on my caps it'll touch the top but it's not enough to complain.
