I’m 6’4” as well, and thanks to someone in this post today I just realised that you can pull the steering wheel OUT as well as up!! I never knew it came out as well, oh my fucking god. The ride this morning to work was SO much more comfortable now I can keep my legs virtually underneath the wheel when changing instead of changing gears with my leg sticking out next to the wheel!

So in my opinion it is really comfortable and you would have to be pretty massive to not fit. Drive the car if you’re worried.

forget fitting in the car, what i wanna know is how you guys get in? im only 6'1 and found it a pain to get in and out when i went to see car today, but once inside i felt great.

i remember thinking getting into my 370z was a pain, that doesnt seem as bad seeing how low the BRZ is!

ill still get the car, but my friends will have a good laugh seeing me put butt in first, sit, fold right leg in then swing in left leg....and even worse getting out trying to get to my feet lol

I'm 5'8" and it's still awkward, for me though I have the luxury of sliding the seat back, but I'm still folding in and out of it. I've started grabbing the roof just to make it a bit smoother... Guess I'm just bad at sitting in things

lol, k, its not just me..... im gonna try the head first dive into car method when i test drive monday, but thatll only work if theres no passenger and it will still look stupid

guess doing yoga will be the only way i cant cope with this issue

Well I went ahead and bought one. After getting a long drive in a BRZ I was happy that I could fit in comfortably.

6'4" here and I fit just fine. I just have no headroom for a helmet.

Anyone with about 39" legs fitting comfortably for DD? I measured from floor to hip though, not sure if that's correct :/
