It's weird to me that people would not have enough room in the FRS/BRZ (disregarding the back seats)... It's pretty cavernous for its size. It felt huge compared to the s2000. lol

I agree.

I am 6'1 and have never felt cramped in any way.

I've had my 6'4 friend drive it and with the seat back he did not complain either.

I'm 6'2 and I fit fine. But if I drive in it for too long I do get that tired cramped feeling in my legs.

No doubt - this thing is huge compared to my old NC. Didn't even feel that small compared to my Lexus.

I've never understood the room thing either. Honestly I feel the challenger feels more cramped. My uncle has a fully loaded '15 black rt with red leather. Its damn sexy. Not my thing at all, but I really like it.

I'm 6'4" with a 34 inseam and I felt comfy in the FRS. I wish the seat bolsters were just a tad bit wider, as I have broad shoulders, but it was OK. I think people are just used to cavernous sedans and when they get in a snug car they feel claustrophobic. I'd give it another go OP.

Adjust the seat/wheel and give it another go because you know damn well you want one!

hmm that's pretty odd. I am 6'4" 225 lbs. 36" inseam and I can stretch my legs out straight in the RS1 I have. You musta forgot to put the seat back dude. That car has more leg room than nearly every other car (or truck) I have ever owned.

Nice R/T. I agree I love the new look. The hellcats are just sex on wheels!

I'm 6'0" and I fit fine, but I could see how you might have been uncomfortable.

I wanted an SRT so bad (wasn't practical with the miles I drive) until I drove the FRS the first time!

Fantastic car, great motor, you cruise forever. Guzzles gas so much that i used to tell people it runs on small children. Used to have a twin turbo corvette and all sorts of cars, still miss my 240sx though and this is the substitute.

Ya that was why I stayed away from it!
Was more a nostalgic thing for me then anything as my car as a late teen was a '70 Coronet R/T 440 mag with a six pack and I always wanted a Challenger back then (because it was "lighter" Ha Ha Ha)!
