Default sat in a 15 is 350 how do

tall drivers and anyone over 170 pounds fit in this car. also the seat is narrow and firm,
are there issues with driving for more than 30 minutes with comfort? i know the car is intimate and cockpit feeling i am trying to understand how tall and bigger people don't feel claustrophobic without going to the gs
thanks for your replies

I'm 5'11" and 220lbs.. I fit no problem..

Seat adjusts in every direction imaginable plus the steering column telescopes out and you can move the steering wheel up and down..

How could someone NOT fit?

The seats are the most comfy ones I've ever sat in.

Maybe look at the ES? The IS is a compact luxury sedan.

It felt quite small when I first looked at it, but now that I've gotten used to it, it doesn't feel small at all.

5'10" and 210lbs. No problem here. One of the most comfortable cars I've driven. I commute to work about an hour each way and I have no issues.

5'10" / 175lb
No problem at all.
I have my seats higher so I can rest my arms with windows open... easier to spot the mirrors and look back as well

6'1" 250 and it's comfortable to me. Getting out is a little tricky but after having the car for 2 weeks I've figured it out without issue.

6'2" 220lbs. I'm not a small dude. These seats are mores supportive than the recaros I had in my prior car. Likewise, getting in and out is extremely easy. Maybe it's just you bro ( to OP ) these are awesome seats and hug you in all the right directions for its purpose ( driving fast! )

I'm 6'4" 240 and I like the way it hugs me. The seats do have to be back a little though so tall passengers will have a problem sitting behind me,

I'm 5'8" and of average build for a female. I'm perfectly comfortable size-wise but my 5'11" roughly 200 lb husband sometimes feels a bit cramped if he drives my car (he has very broad shoulders and large thighs and I think the seat is a bit too narrow for him).

I do have a roughly hour long commute to and from work, and I will say that if my seat and steering wheels aren't adjusted just perfectly, I will get a sore lower back or neck from sitting in my seat. It took me over a month to get everything set so I was the most comfortable when I first got the car (and then I get to figure it out all over again every time it's at the dealership and they move my seat....grr)

I'm 5'7 about 180lbs and have a pretty broad upper body. But nonetheless its a really comfortable seat where I've driven in hour long car rides and I don't feel cramped at all. The narrow seats definitely does not fit my wide back and broad shoulders but its still comfortable once I get settled in. Although I have to have the seat at the lowest setting and even with that the steering wheel bumps into my left knee. I have a tendency to keep my left leg at a 90 degree angle instead of having it extended so it gets kinda annoying. I've been trying to keep my left leg extended but its a weird habit of mine. The steering wheel is pushed up to the highest setting too.

I think you'll grow to get use to the cockpit feeling and realize its a pretty comfy setup even for us bigger guys.
