No head room at all. I haven't been this excited by a car that I would actually own for a long time now, and this would be a real bummer.

* no helmet, no track days: I would be okay with that
* custom seat: I would consider this, that's how much I like the design of this car.

Fingers crossed for sure
The TC has the sunroof which hurts head room.

Based off of what others said, you should be allright

Awesome! This calls for the Peter Griffin gif which has him celebrating/jumping in the air saying "Yeah!" with the 80s sitcom tune in the background lol. Wish I could find it to share hahaha.

As one of the scion first 86ers i asked scion if i would fit. Their marketing company (same one that is organizing the long beach trip) is offering me an exclusive day trip to sit in a fr s.. They are going to fly me from sacramento to lax then drive me to the terrance headquarters where i will get to sit in a fr s. Im a 6'5 320 lb guy with a 38 inch waist.. So fitting comfortablly in cars is priority one. If im comfortable in fr s i will be buying one hands down... Trip is planned dor march 19...will update if people interested

Yes please update us on how you fit. I am also big guy waiting on a thumbs up from another person who is as wide I am. I have to say I am a bit worried the seats will be to narrow.

Good luck to you I hope you fit.:happy0180:
