Default Size/Space for occupants

I realize the SC is a sports car, but wondering if you consider it spacious.

Im 6ft/200lb+ coming from 2004 350z / 01 ls430 / 06 gs430 and a variety of other sedans. In the gs my seat was in the farthest position possible. I don't plan on having people in the back seat and will essentially use it as a 2 seater.

I'm six two, and cough cough, hurumph... chchchhhh... lbs. and I find the front drivers seat very comfortable!

You will NOT be putting people in the back seat, but if you can deal with that, you'll probably love the SC.

I purchased mine as a Sunday driver... my family has a BMW 528i for when we need to fit all five (or six, with my 25 year old step daughter) in a car, and a BMW I3 all electric car that seats four, to take my kids to school, and a 2005 Honda Accord for other times. I use the Lexus for when it's beautiful out, or if I'm picking up only one of my kids.

I've owned a Lotus Esprite, a corvette, a Porsche 928 and numerous other cars. This is not a sports car, in the spirit of those cars... it's more of a luxury cruiser, for driving up the coast, with the top down, the wind in your face, sun in your eyes and Elvis Costello blasting through that exquisite Mark Levinson sound system!

I LOVE that when the top is up, it's a hard top, with all the sound proofing, noise deadening that goes with that, and that it's a vehicle that is very dependable and maintenance free, or at least, requiring minimal maintenance.

Some people love the looks, some hate it... I've always loved it, ever since my step father purchased his 2003 SC430 brand new. Being able to pick up one of these beauties, for a very reasonable price and in excellent condition today, prodded me into getting mine.

Haven't regretted it a single day!

I have never had anyone sit behind the drivers seat, just not enough room there.
Maximum you can fit is 3 people in the car and that is in a configuration with a child and an adult or two girls
