I'm 6'5" and 300 lbs. with a '96 Aero. Generally I make no more concessions with the Aero seats than any other car seat, and certainly less than many. I would prefer to be able to move the seat back farther to accommodate my height, but it's not critical. I compensate on long drives by tilting the seat bottom back all the way although this limits the room between the steering wheel, my leg and the center console. I added a center armrest which has been worth every penny of the $300 cost. The side bolsters, great for cornering, make it tough to dig out your wallet. Overall, they're wonderful seats. I only notice the limited headroom headroom when I sit in back. Spend some time getting in and out of a Sonett and the Aero will seem quite luxurious...
