6'8", 310lbs., 50" chest, no problem. Two months ago I drove from Disneyworld straight through to mid-Ohio with no discomfort whatsoever, loved it.

6'1 175lbs. Everything is good except for the head clearance. My seats all the way on the lowest setting, but i sit fairly up straight and with a helmet on it sometimes hits it.

5'6. I sit far up enough that whoever sits behind me has about as much space as they would in a 4 door car with somewhat cramped back seats. the extra practicality of being short is great!

Thread should be closed after that post.

6'2", 190-lbs. I can still fit fine with a helmet on. That said, I don't think anybody but a child would fit comfortably behind me.

6', 160lbs, long legs, somewhat broad shoulders. Aside from the bolsters in the upper body area (too narrow), I fit perfectly.

N1rve · 12-06-2013, 02:26 AM

5'8.5 and roughly 140. More than enough room for me! I can't drive with the seat all the way back or else I would barely reach the pedals haha.

Reaching the clutch is just fine! My initial discomfort came in the form of sitting much closer to the steering wheel than I was used to. My previous car was an automatic 1996 Mustang. Realizing the steering wheel in the FR-S telescopes, I learned to get used to the seating position...my taller friends just laugh at how far is my seat is compared to theirs. Almost a year into owning and driving my manual FR-S I'm heel-toeing like I've been doing so all my life!

6'2" 230 height is just fine. My only issue is narrow seats in the shoulders as I have broad shoulders. My wife is 5' and she loves the driving position.

Davyator · 12-12-2013, 12:23 AM

I am 6'7" an have ample room. ;-)

brz408 · 12-12-2013, 07:35 PM

6'2" 265lbs. Doesn't look pretty getting in or out, but still manage. Seat is all the way back, but not fully reclined. Initially the seat felt too narrow and I thought some more leg room would be nice, but I've gotten used to it. Just no more fauxhawk or spikey hair dos lol

WingZer0 · 12-12-2013, 07:59 PM

6' with the seat all the way back. Figured out how to get in and out ok, just sucks when there's another car parked too close next to me

FatFree · 12-14-2013, 08:51 PM

5'11 with the seat a couple notches from being all the way back. Plenty comfortable with a couple inches of leeway just in case I grow anymore haha.
