My ONLY real gripe

For some reason; (I've leased 6 Acura's), the drivers seat, does NOT lift up high enough, from the rear.
I've rented Nissans, Toyotas, etc., & never had that problem
I've tried multiple adjustments, & although the TLX is probably somewhat better, it's NOT an ideal seating position
FYI: I'm 6', & 167 lbs; not exactly Andre the Giant, or some fatty
Comments?

Similar stature here, but long legs as pants are 32" lengt. I would like the seat adjustment to raise the height for the front of the seat.This would provide some additional support to my legs.

CPR...Car seats can make such a huge difference eh?!? I prefer a higher seating position too and while I can't offer any solution, I can share your frustration.

BTW...I am even skinnier than you *LMAO*

I think it's a matter of preference as well. I'm about the same size and I feel that the seats are very nice. I believe that they offer as much or more adjustment/support as my 08 CTS. I do know that I tend to sit more upright and away from the seat at times because of my back issues so that may make some difference.

I'm about your size and have always had the rear of the seat as low as possible rather than as high as possible, I guess it just comes down to preference of how you like to sit. You can add some spacers to the rear of the seat (unbolt the seat from the bottom and insert spacers) to raise it by 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch. You'll have to bend the brackets on the front points slightly to accommodate the spacers in the rear.
