Default Drivers seat

Hi! I have one question about IS 350.
Are there any drivers that higher than 190cm???
How is it possible to drive this car? There is so small place for a driver or may be I'm wrong? May be anyone find any decisions for this problem?

Thanks.

That's 6' 3", approximately, for the metrically-challenged Americans. I think the solution (decision) is to buy a larger car.

My best friend drove my car when i had back surgery. He is 6'3" and he fit fine, although there was no room behind him. he is tall but not big.

I'm 6'2" and I wouldn't want a smaller car (on the inside), but it works for me. I rather like the cockpit feel rather than the cavernous caddy feel. That being said, I think the space of the IS could have been a bit better utilized.

I'm not 6'3", but I would think that by lowering the seat and reclining the seat back angle, you should be able to accommodate to the dimensions of the interior. If not, you need to consider a different car. Perhaps a G37 or BMW 3 series.
