there is more leg room in there then u think. If you have a problem then gut the hatch and get rid of the bens so you can lay your seat back more.

I'm 6'1" and 240#.
I fit okay in my FC.

What really helps is an aftermarket steering wheel and a steering column spacer!

You can go with an aftermarket seat that will lower your sitting position.

Yep, there's plenty of room in my opinion, but if you're tall, you will most likely need an after market steering wheel and space like RETed said. Come to think of it... I need those also, and new pedals...

Depends on how you sit, I'm 6'2 240ish and sometimes my leg hurts on longer trips, but you should be ok.

He sits with the seat all the way back and slightly layed back. his hieght isnt his upper body its all in his legs. But if he sits up strait his whole head sticks out the sunroof.

6'1 and 165...no probs. Been on several 15 hour trips...no pains

My roomate had a 90GXL. He was 6'1 and 250. No space problems that he complained of either.

It's all in how you have your legs positioned, and I have bad knees which has causes most of my discomfort.

I'm 6'3" and about 230lbs and I fit just fine, it's even comfortable on 8 hour trips and I can even fit with a helmet on for track days and autocross, just go and try one on, you'll be fine.

Dude I'm 6'2 aswell. you bump the roof a bit, but eventually you get to the point where you figure out how to avoid it, or you dont notice it. i love driving it. ive got the seat all the way back then i lean it back as far as possible. i can still see over the hood well too.


Quick Reply: lol i dont think ill fit in a fc
