Default In my search for an RCF learned these cars have great leg room

I've sat in a few and I can attest, my list of cars is a bit strange, but the RCF has 45 inches of legroom compared to 41 inches or so for BMW M240s or 440s, about 42 inches for LS460s and 42.5 inches for Mercedes SL cars. I'm 6'4" so it is important, although 41 inches works for me, just thought it was interesting these cars might have the most leg room of any Lexus car.

Yeah, leg room is fine in the RCF. I am 5'10" and about 180 lbs with a 32 inch inseam. I can sit very comfortably in the front and also sit behind my seating position in the front. The rear seats have deceptive leg room that does not seem to appear in pictures.

Yea the roofline isn't quite so raked so the backseat isn't bad either. Usually it's just me driving but occasionally take others in it including my son in a booster and it works fine.
couldn't say the same about the LC500.

6'5" here and have room in the ISF but looking to move to RCF Carbon just for the room. The only car that may offer more room for a tall drive is the Toyota 86. Just spent the weekend sitting in a plethora of cars with my son who's taller than I. He has an is250 and we need to get him a car that fits better. For some silly reason he liked the RCF TE he sat in, Lots of room. Speaking to the Lexus sales rep they claimed the only other car Lexus has that tall folks fit in is the IS series. Which I have found to be true. The RCF however is indeed roomy.

Cool you are looking into the RCF. Another Calgarian RCF owner, I guess. Let me know if you want to meet up after march and I can show you my RCF carbon/TVD. Of course, I am not selling mine, but I can help you answer questions from an owner's perspective. Also, can give you a ride in my lightly modded RCF.

I am 6'4" also and this is one of the most comfortable cars I have ever owned in terms of seating and controls. They really did a great job on the interior.
