Will i fit?
 
I've been following this concept since it came out and it would be a shame if I couldn't fit.

I'm 6"4 340lbs. I fit in a RX8 an Escort ZX2, but not a S2000 and not a Miata. I've noticed this car is super small. I like that. But only if I can fit.

So anyone know, or should I just look at getting another RX8?

No idea. I'd wait and see I guess.

6'4 should be ok, but otherwise I don't know about the other.

Lol, I'm just a big tall dude. I normally can't fit in a Miata or a S2000 due to my long legs.

Digi, I was coming here to answer the same question. Love the look of it, my impreza is paid off and this would make a great summer car and the impreza as a winter car.

I'm 6'7" 250lbs... If I can fit I'll have one.

I think this is the question quite a few are asking. I am 6'2, 185, my only concern is if I will have enough legroom, where I won't be hitting my freaking knees when I drive. If so, then I will have to look elsewhere. :(

Digi 11-30-2011 04:57 PM

I think Toyota would be crazy to have this as small as the S2000. I'm hoping they leave lots of room up front, or have seat rails that go way forward and way back.

Well isn't this just the twenty six thousand dollar question.

I'm 6'3" and I will fit in a BRZ/86 because I've followed this car for too long not to drive the shit out of it.

In Hiroki's BRZ thread there's a picture of a caucasian man sitting in the passenger (left) seat, Hiroki says's he's pretty big, 6' at least. Looks like he has a decent amount of room, headroom too. I want to see a picture of a tall guy in the drivers seat though.

^^ This guy would take the front seat out of this car so he could sit in the back =D

I think the steering wheel and such will be a defining factor for some. The distance between wheel and seat. Normally I can scrunch my legs up to get in but that means the wheel-seat clearance has to fit more leg.

^ My Impreza (07) is pretty tight legroom wise, but my legs are either side of the wheel and I only dip my right knee when I slide in. Carrying someone normal size behind me though I'm almost touching the dash and the dash hitting my shin interferes with the clutch activation. If the lower side of the dash is out of the way I think the BRZ will work for me.

Might have to invest in bucket seats for you 6'5+ giants.

And to the OP.. I read your title with a dirty mind.

Thought to myself... "MAKE IT FIT" O_O''

Bucket seats help huh? Never thought of that...


Oh, I do.
