actually, the front seats aren't height adjustable for the US versions. At least as far as I know as I have the OEM seats and they're only adjustable fore-aft as well as the standard backrest adjustment. However, they do offer leg extenders. Basically, you can pull the front cushion out a little to help support your hamstrings on long trips. I'm 6'3" and have plenty of room. The steering wheel is adjustable for rake (not reach) as well. My seat is not all the way back but if it was, I could still drive but it wouldn't necessarily be safe as I would have to reach somewhat for the controls. Seeing as how it's such a pain in the butt to get in the back seat, I doubt you will have someone sit behind you often, so even with your increased height over me, I think the VX would work. And even though the element is more useful and better built, the VX is WAAAAAAAAAAAY cooler.
