On a 3 hour drive I can get a little stiff if my posture sucks; I especially get a sore right shoulder for some reason. I'd say it's just as comfortable as any car I've spent some time in in regards to the seat and driving position. The seat is all the way back most of the time, but I'm used to it.

I did have a buddy that's 6'4 sit in my car once because he's interested in getting one and he fit just fine. He agreed that the head room in the 370 is better than the 350 as I did; thank goodness.
Vipor, if you get a sore shoulder try a different hand position. The most comfortable positions to have your hands on longer driving is towards the bottom of the wheel, either 8 & 4 (vs 10 & 2), or even a little lower if you are just cruising. Your shoulder will be less fatigued because you elbows will be better supported.

As for fit, I'm 6'1 and have about 1 1/2 inches of headroom with the seat all the way down. With racing helmet on my head is mashed into the roof but not uncomfortably so. Need to watch those roof rails if you are tall, it's all too easy to slam your head into it.
