Drivers area too small??
Seriously looking at the IS350, but I am concerned about the driver's seat area size. I drive roughly 40k miles a year for work. I am 6'0" and about 210lbs. I love the looks of this, but want to make sure it's comfortable given the amount I am on the highway. The ES just doesnt do it for me.
Two questions:
1. Does the drivers cockpit area feel too snug for the type of driving I'll be doing?
2. What kind of highway mpg do you get with your RWD? I have seen as low as 22 and as high as 30.

I'm 6'4" and tried a few IS cars. They are way too small.
Oddly enough, I have plenty of room in my SC. I did enjoy my son's LS430. That was nice!!
Just don't get one of the "mid-size" trucks like the LX series or the Tundra. Also way too tight in the cabin, IMO.

I’m 6’0” and 300 lbs. I find it to be very comfortable, but snug in a sporting way. Meaning, the seat holds me in place for spirited driving.
But I don’t rack up the highway miles like you. I would probably want more room to change positions on drives longer than 4 hours.
