Anyone worried about not fitting in the car?
I'm 6FT3. I have a test drive this Thursday.
With a deposit already paid, I hope I can fit comfortably. I currently drive a Golf and driving position is very comfortable with plenty of space. |

I'm 6"3 and I was amazed by the room. You will need the seat back so no kids in the back but trust me, you'll be very comfortable

Im just under 6'2 and I fit in easily with plenty of comfort. The only catch is the car becomes a 3 seater. You could possibly put someone behind the drivers seat but their knees will be diging into the seat abit.

I'm 6'7" and I just sat in one. With the wheel up I got in easily
 still could use more room, as my knee is close to the dashThe interior plastics on the gt are actually very nice

My left knee has more room in the 8, but the head clearance is a little better in the 86
One thing, while I didn't drive it, I pressed the clutch and it doesn't feel like its there (compared to my 8) Also the 1st thing I will do is a shorter height shifter as this one sits higher than I like (looks about higher than the stock 8 one wrt to the console) The exhaust tips are HUGE (good huge but).. Pics don't do them justice, as you can't comprehend how small this car is

Good, good.
The main reason I didnt buy an 8 a couple of years back was coz of the headroom. |

I was concerned (6'2") but from all accounts you don't even have to put the seat all the way back to be comfortable. As for having passengers in the back, well too bad for them haha.
