I just bought a bone stock '93 touring almost two months ago, and I'm 6'3, 220 lbs. It's a blast to drive, but you do have to put the seat all the way back and tilt the seat back about as far as it will go. Also, leave the 10-gallon Stetson at home...=) There's not a lot of lateral room around the pedals, but it's deep enough, and the dead pedal is a nice touch for those times when I'm cruisin' at 85 on the highway. I've also ridden(?) in the passenger seat, and it's quite a bit less comfortable there - if you get it, just don't let anyone else drive it...lol

Seriously, if I was 6'5" or so, it wouldn't work, but 6'3 is quite doable. Altho, my wife says she gets a huge laugh every time she sees me get in and out - good thing I'm still nimble for a mid-40's man. Ought to be even more interesting when I get the competition springs I'm looking at and the ride height gets lowered another inch or so....

Well, the FD definitly isnt a civic. Basically if you take care of her, she'll do the same for you. I've had my FD for about a month now, bought her 79k miles. She pulls hard, and still scares the **** out of me. You think you're doing 65 when your actually doing 85.

I daily drive it and I put on an average of 25 miles a day. I love it. I always let her warm up for about 2mins and cool down for 2-3mins. I RARELY ever go past 3k rpms. Only complaint is the bose cd head spits cds out like seeds and the leather is a pain on a hot day.
