I'm 6' 3" and I don't fit in the GS 300 SE-L. With the seat at its lowest height I still have to tilt my head to one side to fit under the sun-roof - not an ideal driving posture. (But I'm told I have a longer than normal back.) Which is why my wife and I are now looking at the SE. We discounted the E-class for being too volume market, plasticky and poor reliability ratings. The Jaguar S-Type 2.7 diesel is still in the hunt though. >> Stay informed about: Lexus GS300 V Mercedes E320
