The stearlership gives me a IS250 when I take my GS in for service. I like to put the IS in my pocket when I go to bed to keep it safe....it's such a cute little car for a guy 6'3, 230

If that is the inch you need to be fully comfortable it is a pretty important one.

The adjustability on the seat is perfect! It actually gets down pretty low, just pull back the seat tho

Most of you chiming in are less than 6'6", I bet its nice and comfy because you have 2" or 3" of headroom to go.
Yeah to be honest even at 6'0" I feel like I'm almost reaching my limit of acceptable headroom. If I were 6'4" or above I would most likely have gotten a bigger car.

The IS350 does not come standard with a sunroof here in Canada. Not sure if it's the same for you guys in the U.S., but I'm pretty sure there is a moonroof delete option. The U.S. website's features table is a bit confusing.
