5'10" ... and shrinking. (I swear I'm getting shorter by the month.) 185 lbs. and trying hard to get back down to the 175-180 range. Hard in Texas ... steak is just too good to pass up.
I sit just about perfect for normal driving. If you're anywhere between 5'7" to 6'0", it just seems like everything is built at perfect length for you in this car. However, with a helmet on ... I barely fit at an upright position. Slightly duck my head. In a Touring model, I really have to duck my head/slouch in the seat. (First time I ever raced in a Touring model, I just kept thinking "stoopid sunroof".
) And I've got wide feet (not Sleeper wide ...) but I barely can heel-toe. It's still not in my comfort zone; I'd like a little more of the ball of my foot to be on the brake. And size 12 shoes don't manuever too many directions in that tight footwell. Left-foot braking is a conscious thought ... not second nature. Now my co-driver ... 6'4", 235lb. He barely fits; legs hit the steering wheel, has to back up the seat all the way, recline it most of the way, arms are almost fully extended ... and he bitches incessantly about the lack of tilt steering. 
Waah, I says.

6ft even. I have roll bar that makes it impossible to lean the seat all the way back. It's not bad without a helmet, but with one is a real bitch. My chiropractor loves me. I will eventuallt get new seats that put me a little lower to help compensate.

i fit pretty good in a miata for being 6'1 and 200lbs. if the FD is anything like it, i should feel right at home with the compact drivers position
btw i have plenty of headroom in my prelude with room to spare in front and back for sliding lol...
