I'm 6'2" and can't sit in the front of my partner's STS without tilting my head to the side..either that or recline almost into the back seat.

The 740IL, A8 and my LS 400 all have much better headroom. Far too much power in the STS for front wheel drive...wicked torque steer on full acceleration...very unstable.

You should never consider front wheel drive in an 8 cylinder luxury car...it's just a cheap manufacturing technology derived from the Austin Mini in the 60's. The forward weight bias makes them unstable in slippery braking conditions although ABS helps a lot in keeping the rear-end from breaking away.

The STS is a reasonable car for the money, but if you can afford to pay more, go for the rear wheel drive offerings.
