How tall are you - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

djmm · 10-29-2013, 04:52 AM

Just want to check the height of 86 drivers around here. Honestly I think the car might look "too small" for taller guys? How tall are you guys and do you find them uncomfortable due to height issue? Or do you look weird inside the car?

I'm 5'9" 185 lbs fit fine. My father who is 6'4" and 270lbs also fits just fine in the car.

6'1" I have plenty of room driving the car. Thought I wouldn't want someone in the seat behind me.

I'm 182cm and have the seat all the way back, just not touching the back seat to save on wear. It's a challenge to get in at times.

BRZ21 · 10-29-2013, 05:34 AM

6' and my seat isn't all the way back...

I'm 6'3" and I almost didn't buy the car because I am right on the limit of not being comfortable.
I wish the front seat went much further back.
I also sit much too high in the car.

I'm looking forward to putting one of the new Bride zeta seats in, which will sit me much lower, and gives more leg room as the seat back is thinner.

3'2''

As an otter, i'm considered average. I have stilts to assist my pedals, And i stole the phonebooks from an apartment building to sit on.

Wish I bought an automatic.

I'm 5'10". There's much more head room in my FR-S than there was in the Miata I owned before this. I could wear a 10 gallon hat if I wanted to lower my seat.

6'2, no problems in the front of the BRZ (the back, on the other hand, is only comfortable if the front seats are as far forward as they can go). Big advantage over the Miata, which isn't really suitable for anyone over 6' or with larger than size 11 feet.

Mikem53 · 10-29-2013, 07:46 AM

6'3 here.. I fit fine! Even with a helmet..
While it might look comical to some getting in and out.. There
Is more room in this smaller car than my other larger sports cars had.

DCStorm · 10-29-2013, 08:23 AM

My boss is 6'4 and drives a Miata lol your good.

jdubious · 10-29-2013, 08:26 AM

6'6" 200lbs Plenty of room however, the seat is not very comfortable. It feels as if the lumbar support is in the wrong spot :/

DJCarbine · 10-29-2013, 08:27 AM

6'5", no problem.

PStaff716 · 10-29-2013, 08:28 AM

5'11

165 lbs.

car fits like a glove

although, my 6'2 friend had no problems riding shotgun. He's a beemer snob so he would have definitely spoken up had he been the slightest bit uncomfortable.
