Being asian is great, or at least being asian female ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
i'm 5'2" and with the seat as far back as I can have it and still reach the pedals, there is still good space in the back. Probally the only person who can't see the hood the the car while driving, I get the nice view of the wipers.

My hair used to graze the headliner now and then, so I removed the driver's seat, pulled off the leather, and sliced off an inch of the foam, just inbottom of the seat; the now my arm sits just right on the (door)armrest, where I can hold the steering wheel, and no headliner issues.
I'm nearly 6', 165lbs, but I believe this car was designed for shorter, heavier people.
Can't believe I waited over two years to do this simple mod, took an hour or so, also lowered the lumbar support mechanism if I remember correctly.

I'm 6'4" and mostly leg. I have people that are shorter than me be taller than me sitting down. I hate that. But I have the seat all the way back and I fit perfectly. there aren't may cars that I fit in. I tried driving my ex's S2K and I had to press the clutch in with my ankle. Same thing with her Dads 350Z. And we won't get started on when I wanted to test drive a MazdaSpeed Miata.
Sometimes I hate being tall

i'm 6' 2" but i sit pretty close to the steering wheel and with my back pretty straight up because ive gotten used to it from racing. i dont really have issues putting people in my car but my head does touch the headliner a lot, and i cant wear a hat. i want to try the foam-cutting idea someone mentioned earlier so solve my problem

Hey, not all Asians are short! I'm 6'2" and I also have the seat all the way back and reclined. For short trips, I can move it up a little bit to have a slender female sit behind... Just means you'll have to help 'em out, thats all.
But I, too, have hit my head on the headliner pretty hard once or twice. It's because of this I've contemplated getting Supra seats, but I love the lumbar button and those heated seat are just sooo comfy in NYC winters...

LOL. I'm also surprised at how many big guys are driving SCs. Compared to other coupes, though, the SC is pretty forgiving. I remember I tried sitting in a RX-7 and a 300Z at an auto show many years ago. My head stuck out over the targa top in the Z and forget even trying to sit in the damn Mazda...

I'm 6-2 but with legs as long as someone taller. Worst part is I'm 270 lbs. Big and tall...I shouls be in an LS but love the fit of a coupe. SC is one of the few coupes I fit in comfortably.
Today, I tried again to check if I fit in the SC430 comfortably. I can't believe Lexus didn't think of big people with this car. It's amazing.
