6'2" --- the car fits just right, just barely. I have the seat cranked all the way down but don't slide it all the way back. Could use an extra inch of headroom. The seats feel too narrow in the shoulders, but I've taken several 600+ mile trips in complete comfort. Distance to the shifter is okay, but it would be better if it was an inch closer. Overall the driving position is very good.

6'3" 185 lbs and I am please with the amount of room, though I haven't tried with a helmet yet.

That being said, I am coming from daily driving a miata with a fixed back seat bolted to the floor. I also prefer to sit close to the steering wheel.

I'm 182cm. That put me a notch or two from being all the way back with plenty of headroom.

There have been several threads about this BTW.

If you ask nicely, Ichitaka-san might do an open ended poll.

5'6 153 lbs, but I have a friend that is 6'2 200 lbs and fits very comfortable (although nobody is sitting behind him)

in all honesty I dont ever expect anybody to be in my backseats

6'2", 230lbs. Seat was tight (really broad shoulders) but I kinda worked it in after a couple months! It's snug and reasonably comfortable, but it is a tad small when I Autox with a helmet on.

I'd kill for another inch (or close to it) in headroom, perhaps some lower seat rails should be on the radar...
