I'm only 6'2 and I find that most of the time I need more room too. Specially for long drives.

Count me in, I'm 6'6" and was disappointed the seats don't go back any further OR recline ! I would jump on something to give me more leg room in a heartbeat.

this thread is great!!! At 6.1' I find for longer drives you need more legroom FOR SURE! If someone makes a solution for this for the drivers seat at a decent price.... count me in 100%!!!

You guys all have automatics? I am 6' 4" and with the seat all the way back my leg is at full extension at clutch in. I would like to lower the seat about 1 inch to get my head off the sound bar. If the seat went down a little I could probably go back a bit then too.
