6'4" and I have no probs with the XR. Depends how much I want the seat to squeeze me into position. I usually drop it all the way to the floor, bring the front side of the seat up a bit then adjust the back rest, or its everything flat and use the backrest to adjust my seating angle.

That being said, it doesn't compare to the XF Fairmont Ghia. That was lovely to sit in. And I despise my mums BA, too cramped and weird. God damn they handle strange...

well I prefer to have my bum in the seat as opposed to out the window:nutsycuck

I'm 5"10 and have the seat all the way back, I find it just about perfect, still playing around with the seat controls though as I haven't quite sussed it out yet. But I've got to have the lumbar support all the way out as I've had back problems in the past. Absolutely love this bloody car.

Yes the AU's out handle the BA's, especially through roundabouts.
XR seats absolutely rock, my mate's CM regal has seats like lounge chairs.
