hey im looking at purchasing a IS350 within the next few weeks but i have a problem. I am 6"7" and i cant fit into cars very well. I remember sitting in one awhile ago and being able to fit but i cant remember 100% i was looking at getting a GS430 but i cant fit in that. Anyone tall on here and own one and has any input. If not, anyone know where to get low riding sliders so i can get an after market seat?

Hmmm...

Tough call. Best to sit in one again.

Also, make sure that you don't get the sunroof. It robs you of an extra inch of headroom...

yeah i want to sit in one, but the prob is the closest one around me is about an hour and a half. im buying mine at the auction.

Any members in Delaware?

Perhaps you can have a CL visitor...

If you didn't fit in a GS, you probably won't fit in the IS. I'm 5'9 and my seat is pretty close to being all the way back.

my friend is about 6'4" 240lbs and cant fit into my IS that well. You probably wont be comfortable in an IS

Well I'm 6' 2" and I barely make it in there - I'm guessing anything too far above 6'4" and you'd have to shave your head. It's not really just height, but legs/torso ratio. I doubt you'd fit in an IS. RX?

I think you should wait for the IS convertible coming out next year...

2 pieces of advice from a Lexus Product Specialist:

1. It's not your overall height, but the torso to leg ratio.
2. You will fit into whatever you want to fit into.

I have a friend who drove mine and liked it so much he went out and bought one, he's well over 6' but I don't exactly know how tall.
You may fit in it OK, but no one is going to sit behind you in the back, though!

go on a used car lot....

I'm 6'1 and if i sit real straight my head hits the roof, but I never sit with proper posture anyways.

2nd that. I'm only 6'1" but my legs are really long and I find the steering wheel does not come out far enough to reach comfortably. I usually end up sacrificing leg room to keep my arms from getting tired.
