I am 6'5" and fit very comfortably in the TL. I went to the Acura dealer to test drive the TSX, but did not fit well. I was originally looking at the G35 because of the RWD, but did not fit in the car. I also do not fit in the BMW 3 series.

Tall tales
I'm only 5' 14". And 185 (most days). I just got back from an 800 mile tour of Florida. Only once or twice did I get a slight back ache after driving for 3 or 4 hours. I adjusted the lumbar support to a different position, straightened the seat back a little and I was good to go.
For all those naysayers re: FWD, most of whom don't actually own and drive a TL: SHUT UP! This car handles great! I had to dodge lots of hurricane debris (X3) in the roadway. I was amazed at the quick and nimble handling of the TL at speed. My other car is a BMW. I'm not easily impressed.
Since this thread is specifically talking about the 2004 TL seats, I will leave it here for now.

6' 6" coming out of an SUV and couldn't be happier. Just have to get used to the recline.
I looked at the Inifiniti G and I and had to convince the saleswoman to get off her fat butt just to let me sit in those cars. (She already knew, no way I was squeezing into those things). Suffice it to say I got the Acura.

I'm 6'4". I'm in a habit of always adjusting a seat all the way back in most cars so that I can fit my legs in comfortably, but when I test drove the TL I was amazed to discover that I did not need to go all the way back to fit. There was still room to go! I was, however, dissapointed by the back seat headroom. My head contacted the headliner. In the TSX it did not.

I'm 5'5" and I have to raise the seat almost as high as it goes.
About the only thing I don't like about this car is that the height of the passenger seat can't be adjusted. I feel like I'm looking down on my companions!
