How tall of people do rx7s fit?
I am 5'11, but I am kind of bulky cause I lift weights alot... I found myself having to get a smaller steering wheel b/c my legs touched it... besides that I fit great, and I think that my seats are pretty comfortable (compared to my ford probe gt turbo... the biggest mistake in my life...)

BTW: Tall would be considered 6' + in the USA. Anything under 5"9" is under average height for males in the USA or under 5'4" for women.
I'm 6'4" and Its no problem. There is enough headroom with the seat all the way back and leaning back. I am worried about hitting my head on the top of the door when getting out and while I'm sitting in the car. I haven't had a helmet on in it yet but it looks like it will be tight.
I'm 6'5 and have the seat reclined a bit but I like the lounged driving position anyway. There's not a whole lot of headroom, maybe an inch or so, but it doesn't bother me. Oh, and having a shaved head/buzzcut helps a lot too.
Too Tall
I'm 6'5" and have been trying on convertibles and I do NOT fit (with the top up). I can't put the seat far enough back to get my head off the roof. And my right leg doesn't really have enough space between the steeing wheel and dash.
I would be greatly interested in talking to anyone that has actually found a solution to this problem, such as any particular aftermarket seat or mods. Mounting the seat to the floor directly (how to?) and the smaller steering wheel sound like good ideas.

I'm 6'1" and 220ish, only problem is my knee hurts from being twisted weird (after an hour or so), and my back gets sweaty.
My mom is 4'11" and can't see over the wheel and touch the pedals at the same time.

im about 6'4 -6'5, just came back from a drift event, i had to totally tilt my head to the side with helmet on, super uncomfortable, but in the next few weeks i am removing sun roof and welding some sheet metal to the hole (i'll get over an inch of room im guessing). also getting a bucket with fg rail later on so that should also bring it down a good bit.

My brother and I were looking into making a seat bracket (non-adjustable) which would lower the seat about 1.5".

I'm 6'1" and 180 lbs, plus or minus on any given day. I fit perfectly in my S4 base model, however, since I prefer to sit upright in the stock seats, the visors have been known to attack my forehead because they are lose. Otherwise the car is an excellent fit for me and everything is within easy reach and comfortable. Enjoy your rotors.
