    I am 6’2, 190 and the most comfortable driving position requires my 456m drivers seat ALL the way back, basically right into the rear seats, as low as possible and as tilted back as far as it can go.

    I was looking at a 575 yesterday at Marshall Goldman, busy convincing myself I do not need one and I realized that if I could not move the drivers seat the same amount back and down as in my 456 it would kind of be a deal breaker for me. It looked much tighter on driver space.

    The 575 at MG was a SuperAmerica so I did not ask to sit in it or anything.

    Does anybody know if the front seating in a 550/575 is as “generous” as a 456 ?!

    *****
    Can't make a direct comparison but I'm 6'3"/208# and require seat to be back and down to max. Major limitation is back rest recline is limited. If I haven't driven it for awhile, it takes about 30 minutes to feel "settled in", then I'm good for a 1000 miles. :>) The passenger seat is less comfortable.

    If you want to come down to SD, feel free to sit in my 575.

    The 550/575 seat cannot recline much at when at the most rearward position. But there seems to be a lot of room with range of motion for the seat.

    Thanks for the kind offer man, it does stand to reason that that the recline/tilt back may be significantly less in the 550/575 - legroom I bet is fairly similar.
