GTS Seats too small?

anyone find the GTS seats that doesn't recline back enough? I am 6'-0" and 210 lbs and just unable to find a comfortable seating position.

That's my only complaint, otherwise this is one bad *** car!

I am equal height but a bit thinner and find that the seat is just fine. I have three different seat positions selected using the memory function and change the position occasionally while driving to change my back comfort. But the reclining function is fine for me. It will be interesting to see what others have experienced.

I about the same size and find them to be a little tight around the lat area and also would like the seat to recline farther. I like to sit a little farther away from the wheel and peddles, but can't see anyone over 6'3" finding a comfortable position in this car.

I so wanted to fit into this car, but at 6'3"+ and 210 lbs I couldn't help but think it would be a torture chamber before too long. 36" inseam also made the leg room tight. So looking at the SL refresh or the S Class coupe/vert instead.

It would be a bummer not to fit on comfort I do get it if you drive reclined as some do.
At 5'-9.5" and just under 200lbs I fit in comfort very nicely in the cockpit, I like to drive up close and that help as well The one thing I have noticed is that it limits the passangers I can or am willing to take for a ride some are to big to squeeze in so sad to bad ....

It is interesting to compare the seating stats of the AMG GT S with my last car - 2013 SL550. The AMG actually has lightly more headroom and legroom. 39.5" versus 39.1" for headroom. And the legroom is 43.5" versus 42.9". As far as headroom goes, there is a lot of travel in the adjustments - also legroom.

I'm 6'-0" and 220 lbs. I have no issues with the seating position in the GTS. I find the seats are very comfortable.

Talking

6' 2" at 204lbs no problem. Though use different seating positions depending on how I am driving. Laid back, reclined/seat back; aggressive seat forward to wrists and tilted forward slightly: track, more of the same as latter like NASCAR.
