I definitely fit into the category of 'longer driver' (6'7") and I'm not a fan. I feel like I'm sitting ON the thigh bolsters and not between them. I've not found that they break in or get better over time. The bolsters are supported by metal rods bent in a hoop, so there's only so far that the padding can compress before you're up against solid metal. I ended up taking the drivers side sear out, pulling the lower cushion up and bending the hoops out. That helped somewhat, but I wish the hoops had been welded on further to the sides in the first place.
