Interior room?
To anyone that's already got their FR-S or has test drove one, I have a question. I'm a pretty tall guy, about 6'3" (that's about 190.5 cm for our foreign friends) and I waited to order my FR-S because I was worried about the size issue, but I took a leap of faith and ordered it 3 weeks ago.
Are any of you owners or test drivers, or anyone you know, tall? My height, or close, and did you fit into the car comfortably? |

I saw someone who was 6'5", 300lbs or so and said he was comfortable.
I'm 6'7" and a bit worried about headroom :P |

in one of the review threads, there is a photo of a person around your height sitting in the car with a helmet on and no issues. |

I am 6'5" and am fine, however, I wouldn't be against adding just one more inch of leg room

Any reason you didn't just show up to a dealership and test drove the car?
You can get a feel for how comfortable you are after a few minutes. |

Wow, thread revival. I guess I should've said something once I got the car. I've had it over a year now and I guess I've just been too busy driving it to remember I made this post. For the record though, I do fit without issue.
@R.S-HawK I didn't test drive one because they weren't out yet when I made this thread. At least, they weren't at my dealership yet. @humfrz Thanks for the belated congrats. And we do have Scion dealerships, they just hadn't received any yet. I ordered the car early because I wanted it right away. Didn't do me any good though since it took nearly six months to get here.
