Default Rear seat headroom - adults ok back there?

I read about the problems in rear seat headroom, but haven't been in the new GS myself, so I'm asking for your findings as owners of the car. I am tall and seem to have tall friends, so would 6'2" adults be comfortable back there? I don't want a 2+2, as if that's the case, I'll just get the Porsche 997S (new 911)...

my husband and i have both sat in the back. he is 6'0, i am 5'7. feels fine. nice back support. only thing is leg room could be better IF you have a driver that likes the seat really far back. but most cars are like that i guess.

I' ve sat in the back it's comfortable enough for me in terms of leg & head room, I'm 5' 11", but the best way to find out is to sit in one yourself.
