Is it practical for me to get a BRZ/Fr-S

Aside from putting the seat all the way back, all the way down, and leaning them back a bit, there's not a lot you can do. There's no extra room under or behind the seat to gain by custom seat mounts. If you went to a side-mount aftermarket seat then that could sit lower. But you're also removing part of the OEM safety system (airbag), which means if you get in an accident the insurance company might bail on you. Replacing the back seats with a carpeted shelf would let you mount the aftermarket seats further back and still look ok.

Same for me. I work on the principal that I'm not going to fit most cars, bikes or scooters and get on with it.

It's beamed ceilings in pubs and some doorframes are more of a problem really.

TBH I find the BRZ comfortable.

I think you need to ask yourself, like a lot of group questioning posts, why you haven't already bought or discounted buying the car already?

At 5'6" I have no skin in this game, I fit into this car really well In fact sometimes it's a problem getting in and out because I like to sit pretty straight up in this car so the seat ends up too close to the wheel and I have to twist and turn getting in and out so the seat bolsters are showing significant wear.

My wifes brother was 6'4" and ~275 and drove a Fiat Spider in the late 70's and early 80's. From what I understand it was quite good comedy watching him get out when the top was up. Apparently if the weather was good in the winter he would drop the top just to make it easier to get in and out but rainy/snowy days were a show.

Did you check 2017 Mustang? It has more space and reviews are pretty good.

Everyone thinks stereotypically. It's human nature. It's not socially acceptable to be sexist or racist (and no, I'm not advocating either) but it's ok to be heightist. We tall people who like light nimble sports cars endure being told we all squeeze ourselves into tiny cars because we want to be smaller.

We all play basketball too.

I have zero interest in corvettes or muscle cars because I just love that go kart feel.

If you mean my Mustang recommendation, I apologize. I was only trying to help. But I am not "heightist" at all. It is just like buying shoes, you know, there are different sizes Maybe I should just dig a hole and disappear for a while instead of making more comments.

I like it when people say "oh you're big"

And I can say "how do you know, I haven't had my pants down yet"

(T-Coat, can you cover me on explaining big and tall to our American cousins as Im beginning to suspect English isn't their first language)

Don't worry about it; it was a good recommendation. The new Mustang is pretty nice, and maybe the op will look into it. MA Performance has done awesome things with their turbo-4. Ultra's comment wasn't directed at you; it was more of a comment in general and it just happened to come after yours.

Unless that was a joke rather than stupidity. In that case well done sir.

[Scrappydoo]

It was stupidity wasn't it?
