Have any other owners found problem sitting in driver seat in RRS? I’m 6`4" and when i tested it at local LR dealer I have little problems sitting comfortable.

I to find the seat a little short (6'1", but since you are so tall you will have no problems reaching the windows buttons

I am just over 6 foot and find the seating great, takes a while to get used to it, but after about 3 weeks I was very comfy. L319 D4 HSE

I'm 6'5" 260 and I don't fine it that bad. I have noticed that the seat will mold to your shape (or at least mine) after a few thousand miles. The only thing that took some getting use to is that my knee hit the exact point where three pieces of molding comes together in the center. It hurt for a bit, but I found out how to make it work. RRS S/C Special Edition, Vesuvius

The RRS is driven by giants - I feel possibly small at 5,11 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

It did take a bit of tweaking and judicious use of the seat memory so it didn't all get lost as soon as the wife got in to drive it, but I think it's pretty comfy now. I do miss a lumbar adjustment mind you, but I'm used to that now. I am 6'4" and still think the window buttons are too far away...

So you think that is enough of space in driver seat for legs/knee and head for drivers over 6`3`` - 6`4`` (like in Mercedes ML, BMW x5,...)?

Re, Headroom.

Im 6'1" and think many times Im glad not taller.
One thing I have noticed is that you get much more headroom in a sport without the sunroof option.
This was the first thing I commented on when I did my LRE day as the car I drove did not have a sunroof the same as mine. Its out there somewhere. Second V10 Treg on the drive at the moment.

Yes, I think so... as I've said, I'm 6'4" and have plenty of room. I don't have a sunroof, so will benefit from the slightly increased headroom as Biggles says but I have no issues at all with headroom/legroom/sideways movement. I think it's one of the most spacious cars I've ever had with respect to passenger space.
