Just wondering how tall you guys(and girls) are. I have heard that the RX7 is rather cramped if you are over 5'10''. And as a side note none of the 3rd Gens had a tilt steering wheel option did they? I have made several test drives in the 3rd gen. (going to make a purchase in the next 3 months or so) and I seem to fit comfortably. I am 5'10-11''

5' 11'' & 3/4 (196 lbs) . I'm exact ya know . Never had much of a problem here ana yes the tilt steering is a 'u better fit me' kinda deal, but if it works for your body then that works perfectly!

5'9" 170lbs, no problems fitting, but I do find heel and toe a bit awkward for some reason. My Impreza doesn't have this problem, so I'm not sure what the deal is :/

wow you're skinny. I'm 6' 165lbs myself, and I have no problems at all. Actually, the car fits a lot better than do a lot of American run-of-the-mill sedans.

Heel and toe with the stock pedals is a big PITA. However, it becomes very easy with the Widefoot gas pedal extension. Just put the ball of your foot on the brake pedal and roll your foot to the right to blip the throttle. The FD with the pedal extension is the easiest car to "heel-and-toe" I have ever driven. I got the small extension and it is all you need. The unit installs easily and is very nicely made. It may still be a problem if you are tall, but I don't know one way or the other as I am short (5'6"). This page has info on how to get one:

5'7", and i fit just fine. dont know how i fit with a helmet though.

JoeD

Max, the pedal extentions look nice, but wont you run into problems of pressing the brake and gas at the same time if you have big feet??

6'4" 245lbs. Had a problem getting comfortable with a helmet on until I installed a racing seat. With it mounted on the stock rail I can get to a perfect race postion with a helmet on and can still slide it back for the few days I take it on the road. The seat I choose dropped me down about a inch and a half. A 25mm spacer and 350mm steering wheel gave me all the leg clearance I needed, plus didn't require me to slide as far forward for good hand position.

5' 10" 195. no real problem here. Fits like a glove

JONSKI

My legs touch the steering wheel.
I need to put the seat back and slouch a bit.
My groin starts to cramp after driving for over an hour.

Wouldn't trade it for anything.

I'm 6'3" and 215lb, what seat did you use? I don't fit well with a helmet.

Thanks, Jeff
