Cool

So far the average FD owner is 6ft or higher! You guys don't get into the car, you guys wear it!

I was pretty sure they made the FD with Japanese height in mind.

Hell, even the girls are taller than me... (story of my life.. )

I'm 5'5. I fit absolutely perfectly!

Later,

6'0 or 6'1 I have plenty of room, can even move the seat farther back. I might do the rear view relocation though.. My roomate is around the same height but like 290 and he is very cramped lol because of the steering wheel.

Damn! I thought I was the shortest. I don't know how you 6 footers can get into these FD's. My boss is about 6'3". I took him around to show him the FD powah!!(he's a muscle car lover). He looked funny with his knees to the glove box.

5'11" and about 180 lbs. The seats fit like a glove. The only problem I have, is that I hate to drive with my legs stretched out. I Like the seat slid forward compared to my buddy who is the same size. I feel more comfortable with my knees slightly bent. The problem occurs when entering or exiting the vehicle. What a pain. I feel like I am using a handicapped toilet (the ones with the handles). Having a herniated L5 disk in my back doesnt help at all either.

Ok, I guess I'll add my $0.02. I am about 6'2" and about 205lbs. There is plenty of leg room, but the head room is tight. I have to recline the seat quite a bit to have enough room (touring model). All in all I fit pretty good, but I think it would be uncomfortable if I were any taller. Getting in and out is not too bad (the seat is nearly all the way back anyway).

5'5 150lbs feels like the FD was custom made for me.
Fit right in behind the wheel with no play
