How tall are you?
Didn't think I would add to this post - but finally did considering the last car I drove...
6' 2'' - 185 -- Clearance is fine for me in the 3G TL -
HOWEVER, my head scraped the top and then my hair would stick up on the left after getting out of my big 'ol '96 CROWN VIC (inherited). I think I would have had better clearance sitting in the trunk of that monster!

6'1" and 190lbs
The ceiling is low and I find myself bending my neck down to see b/c I feel a little closed in and I end up with a stiff neck and back. I have the seat all the way back and leaning way back to get away from the front window. Telescopic steering would be awesome. The ergonomics of my Maxima SE were much better.
2002 TL-P

I don't have the seat all the way up... in fact i have rather long legs... but 'tis okay cuz I look damn good in skirts steppin outta my car!
Just playin... I love my car... wouldn't change a thing about it...
5'2. Just got my car on Friday. Lovin it except for one thing, I can not reach the seat belt without having to turn around and grab it. And even then it seems hard to find behind the seat. Any suggestions??
Room galore.
6' 3", 190 lbs. The seat is not all the way back. Plenty of room. I have never sat in the back except when treating the leather. No one else has either except for my dog, Zorro. :dog:
5' 4" Three problems - I can't look over my left shoulder out the back window because the front and rear headrests and C pillar are in the way - also, I have the seat so far forward that I have to duck under the A pillar to get in and out - lastly, with the seat that far forward, the shoulder belt hangs behind the seatback and is difficult to reach. This is made worse by my lack of flexibility at age 64. It's more of a problem with my '05 TL than with my previous '99. Pretty insignificant though, when I like a car this much.

Possibly not. If you're suggesting that more distance from the airbag is better, I agree. The car's so new that I haven't really gotten used to it yet, so I'll experiment with moving the seat back. Thanks.
After posting I began to wonder if I could use the memory settings to position the seat for easy entry/exit somehow, so I'll look into that. It would be a little complicated though, because there is another driver.

I AGREE! 5-2" here. I LOVE the car. But what I found is when I back out I have ZERO visibility on my left side of the car!!!! Not sure which is worse, but reaching the seatbelt is almost impossible. I finally figured out that I need to put the seatbelt on BEFORE I closed my door, that way I could reach it! Since getting used to this ,its not tooooo bad..... No wonder mostly 6 footers own this car!


And the seat isn't even raised that much..!
?
