Test drove one and loved the handling, but felt cramped more laterally in the driver's seat... and of course the rear seat was a joke, i had to spread my legs on each side of the seat in front. I'm 6'2... used to a legend... anybody my height having long term problems with their IS300 in that respect?

thanx

Ditto. 6'2" and no problemo.

I could wish for a telescoping steering column, but that's another topic.

I'm 6'1 and fit well with very long legs and a short upper body. I actually have more room to bring the seat back a bit more. Lexus has one of the longest seat tracks out there!

I am 6'6" and I test drove one a couple weeks ago and it fit me like a glove.

I've got an IS200, does that count? I'm sure the seats are the same.

Anyway, I'm 6ft 4ins and don't have too much of a problem, although I have noticed I've been getting a dull pain in my lower back after about an hour of driving. I just kinda figured I haven't got the seat adjusted quite right (always takes me a while to get the perfect position). Everything else is fine - plenty of head/elbow room.

When I test drove the IS it was little crowded at first because the salesman sat right behind me. I finally told him I had to move the seat all the way back. He was cramped but I was in heaven. I also noticed that the cabin space in the car was indeed narrow but to me it gave the car a sports/race car effect. Sort of felt like a coupe instead of a four door. By the way, I'm 6'2.

Well someone has to say it. I'm 6'3" and if I buy one it'll be without the moonroof. I fit ok, not great, but no way I can wear a helmet with the moonroof there.
I can't fit in the Acura CL or TL at all - worse headroom than my Integra. The IS300 is at least a lot better than the two Acuras.

I'm 6'2" and am very comfortable in the IS, although I wouldn't want to be sitting behind me in the back seat.
It's easy adjusting the driver's position with the power seat, although a "memory seat" would be great.
The IS is not a perfect car, although it's easily the best in its class.
I've had mine for a month now...it's fast, fun, and very comfortable.
