Tall drivers
 
Wow I just finally saw an frs. I loved it! Looks better in person! My only complaint is I'm 6'2 and even with the seat back and wheel up I don't fit in the car. I should be able to drive it tomorrow and I'll see if it actually an issue. Sure hope not.

I find that hard to believe because there are several owners over 6'2'', someone is 6'6'', I think I even saw a guy the size of Karl Malone driving this car.

I myself, am 6'1'' and Ive got 3+inches of headroom and one or 2 more clicks back on the seat rail slider.

Proportions make a big difference. It sounds like Trackmagic is all legs.

Height doesn't mean everything. I'm 6'3 and can't fit in a Mustang cuz my knees hit the dash no matter what. If I went to a forum, people would think I'm a tard and can't adjust the seat because "so and so is taller than you and fits fine".

I still need to sit in a BRZ/FRS.

I have the opposite problem; I'm 6'3" with a 30" inseam. My WRX wagon is one of the very few cars that I don't have to slouch in. :lol:

I am all legs. My knees hit in most cars, but this worried me because it was worse than normal.

Hmmm, I'm 6'3" with a 36 leg. Yourself?




This does not bode well...

I'm going to have someone around 6'4" and a 36" inseam sit in the car this Friday evening.

I'm 6'7" and have a torso that is proportionately longer than it should be, and I can fit in the car. 36" inseam, as well. It's pretty close, but I can /just/ fit in.

EDIT: My right knee comes close to hitting the key, which makes me think about doing a keyless conversion on my Premium BRZ.

LMAO :lol: I'm 6'2" and I'm a beast. I easily fit in the car. I don't see any way someone 6'2" cant fit unless their legs are 2" and the rest of them is 6ft. :bonk:

yeah I'm 6 foot even, but I have a really long torso, and all kinds of leg room left. :bow:

All legs might make a difference idk though? :sigh:

For entertainment's sake, here's a picture of me next to my car. The look on people's faces when I unfold out of it is humorous.
