So, I'm REALLY tall...?
 
Hello everyone,
I am very interested in getting a 2G GS but my main concern is headroom. Are there any extremely tall people around the boards have at least driven if not own a GS? Only asking because there aren't any for sale in Savannah so I'd have to drive to Jacksonville or Charleston just to see if I would even fit. I know its really going to come down to me having to test drive one (I'm 6ft8) but I was wondering if you guys even thought it was remotely possible? Thanks for any input and I look forward to learning more about these great vehicles. A few of my family members swear by Lexus so I want to see what its all about! I also have a history of not keeping anything I own stock so it will be fun to see my next project come about.

Thanks again,

im 6' and when i slam the seat down max i got tons of room.. i actually feel like im ridin super low lol.. ill measure how much room i got above my head with the seats slammed next time i hop in

Open up the sunroof and you got yourself infinite headroom :p

The only way I see you fitting in this car is if you slam the seat down at its lowest position, and maybe if you recline the seat back a little. We got some pretty tall guys on this forum with GS, but I dont know about 6'8"

yeah man im 6-4 and i have plenty of room. i think you would ok! i dont think i even have my seat all the way back.

My father is 6'4" and fits just fine, he actually thinks it's comfortable.

6'4" have a lot of headroom.

my guess is that if you can fit in the vw in your sig i dont think a gs is going to be a problem :)

turboale Mar 14, 2007 05:25 PM

Awesome,
Music to my ears! For me its never a question of how low I have to put the seat, its how far I have to lean back. Even in my Excursion if I lean back enough I can hit my head on the rear HVAC controls. Hearing a few 6ft4 guys say there is room makes me feel much better. Looks like I'm going for a test drive!

You're only looking at a GS400 or GS430 right? :D:D

Please do give us your impression/review/etc of the car whether its a positive or a negative review. :thumbup:

Hey if it makes you feel better, "Even Roy Jones was forced to lean back."

6'-4" here and plenty of headroom...first car that I have felt completely comfortable in.

Good luck with your test drive!!!

chrispy Mar 14, 2007 05:40 PM

wow, that's really tall.

the GS is good since the steering wheel also telescopes forward.

GS42NV Mar 14, 2007 06:27 PM

6'4" here ... there's tons of headroom still available for me, and i wouldn't consider myself a slouch at all.

it really helps that we have the tilt/telescope wheel as well, since you can manipulate your seat independantly of having to worry if your hands will reach the wheel.

Damn..is everyone but me 6'4? :p
