Default Anyone else feel seats are too high?

So I am about to buy an RX 2nd gen, and i love it! but i hate how i feel like i am sitting on a pedestal, or a bunch of books. I wish the seat went lower... I have test drove a few they all are the same... has anyone else remedied this or felt like this?
THANKS!

There is an adjustment for height. Lift the long horizontal seat switch up from the rear (vertical height adjustment). If the manual for the vehicle is available look at the photos on pages 17 -18.

Yes I know about this, thank you for your response! I am after a mod or something to make them lower. I have the electric seat control maxxed out to the lowest setting, and it just feels like I am too high...

I'm 6'4", seat lowers enough for me, wife is 5'4" and is high enough for her.
2 position seat memory is very nice, too bad no ones figured a way to motorize the rear view mirror yet lazy I guess.

I love my RX but I too am 6'4" and wish the seats were lower. In an ideal world I would love to have the seats in my IS250 put into my RX
