How tall are you?

Just wondering...if I'm the only one that gets "the care bear stare" when I get out of my car, Meaning...I'm about 6'4" getting out of car that I dwarf. Which..is actually a very comfortable car to me. Any more giants out there driving 7s?

No, but my girlfriend's brother said "How the hell do you fit in that thing." I'm only 5' 10" but to him it still looks THAT small to him, so I know what you mean. Then again only cars at her house are a BMW X5, Chevrolet Silverado, and a GMC Van, even my mom's clunky mustang looks tiny to him. Sorry a bit off topic. On a side note, the car is so comfortable to me and I have about 6 inches of headroom, plenty of legroom, and good shoulder width, and the reach to unlock the passenger door is great. The whole interior almost seems a mystery, small on the outside, roomy on the inside, but easily accessible. Mazda did one hellova job designing it.

6'2 plenty comfortable except the the head rest part of the seat could be a little taller and sit little closer to me but that could just personal preference, I think.

Im 6'2. As a few of you said, they manufactured the rx7 perfectly. From the outside looks super small but when your in its like WOW! SO MUCH ROOM!!

Im sure for those of you that have seats in the back ( the ones that flip up ) with 2 peeps in the back it gets a little crowded, probly painfully crowded.....Not to rub it in but i have the base model so i dont have those seats, its awesome because that means only one passenger. So you arent a drive around bitch. haha

rub it in? you do realize models with back seats are rare. A lot of us have 2 seaters. MY TII is deffinately one. So I could counter, not to rub it in, but I have a turbocharger(and less reliability), it's best to do some research before you say something like that.

Ooooh, i just assumed most rx7's had the back seats cause a high percentage of peeps on these forums have back seats, atleast thats what ive seen in most pics.

I'm 6'4". No problems if you got long arms, just tilt er back go bow-legged and lounge away. Steering has tilt too, but some people never notice this cause the lever isn't like most other cars and isn't obvious.

5' 8" here and im with the other guy thats 5 something, i have to move it up and place the seat more straight up to see perfectly, its odd that when i get into other cars, i feel like im 5ft in the air. i have a 2+2 88, i wanna find the back seat so i can put it in but still say i can only bring one other person because the back seat is only for looks lol.

+1 On That Complaint! I'm 6'1" and I find the 7 to be so comfy, especially the S5 TII Seats (not sure if they're the same for S4, if so then TII Seats!) But the only thing is if I just wanna lay back, the seat is still too much at an up angle to relax.
