How much headroom?
I am 6'4" with a long torso and I have headroom problems in many cars. I don't fit in e46 BMWs. My head rubs the ceiling in my RSX. My head even rubs the ceiling in Jeep Grand Cherokees. Do you think i will fit in this car? It looks small but it's hard to judge interior dimensions.

The only thing I have ever had issues fitting in have been s2k's and some Subbies. Head room wise, just buy one with a moon roof you'll be strait. or Gansta lean while you drive |

i'm 5'9" on a good day. i would feel sorry for you guys, but i often get teased by some of my taller friends for being a midget, so i have no sympathy, haha. the only time i maybe will have headroom issues is when i'm wearing my helmet.

I'm 6'6" and drive a WRX wagon with a sunroof. I feel like I fit just fine.
Hopefully I can fit into the Toyobaru. |

I doubt I will be doing any adjustments for a while, i've still yet to run in my newly rebuilt 20v let alone get around to lovely things like changing bucket seats.

That would indeed suck; you wait all this time, it finally comes out, you go down to the dealership and you don't fit

wow most of you guys are taller than 6 feet. Also if the position of the seats stay true to the concept I think you should fit in because the seats are quite low.
This is the video I am referring to:

My friend is 6'6' and he sat perfectly fine in his AE86 (though his knees were still pretty high up, near the steering wheel). Plenty of headroom. Infact, he never had problems sitting in my old mk3 Supra or our friends '85 camry.
He often stated that the AE86 was one of the most comfortable cars he ever fit in. Basically, Toyota seems to do a good job at making the car comfy, even for tall guys. So I wouldn't worry too much. |
