is the rx7 roomy?
 

i am 6ft 3inch(pretty big guy). is the 3rd gen rx7 roomy? i own 94 supra tt and its perfect..its pretty roomy. the seat is comfortable too. and my shoulder room is also good. is it the same with a 93+ rx7????? if so, let me know. respond to me ASAP. if its roomy, i should look into geting an rx7.
RESPOND ASAP please!

:crackup: It all depends. Are you 6'3" 150lbs, or 6'3" 350lbs?

I'm 5'10" 230lbs (I know! I'm working on it!) and I find the car snug. It's a nice snug though. Not a lot of distance to the sides of the seat bolsters when taking turns.

Head room may be a problem. I've heard of other FD owners that are your height and they don't seem to have many problems, unless they're helmeted. A race bucket may help the problem a bit, if you're interested in that direction.

It's hella comfortable for me. I'm 5'7".

:withstupi

I own a 1st gen. and have ridden in 3rd. I'm 6'1" 167lbs. I am comfortable.

It is definately more snug than the supra. My brother is just a little bit taller than you are and has to tilt the seat back a little more for him to feel comfortable with the height clearance. Are you planning to race the car and need to wear a helmet? The seats seem to fit me perfectly but I'm only 5'11" and about 170 lbs.

Damn you guys are tall

you'll have an a little more headroom with a rx-7 without a sunroof.. i bought mine from a 6'2" guy.. his reason for buying the base model without the sunroof was that his head hit in the touring edition..

i'm 5'7" .. feels just perfect for me

it's a racecar cockpit. it's supposed to be snug. It's a positive, not a negative. It fits like a glove.

I'm 6'2" and 240lbs (yeah, mastacow, I'm workin on it too..:) ), I fit fine.

it IS a little tough to race, with the helmet and all, because of a lack of headroom..and my legs are too long to do a proper heel/toe manuever (instead, it's more like a toe/heel manuever). But other than that, it's great. I love it.

Passenger room is pretty piss poor though. I hate riding shotgun.

is the steering wheel in the way of you guys legs? the celica is extremely uncomfortable...my thighs rubs on the steering wheel!!
(im 6'3" weighing 250lbs....yes martini and mastacow, im working on it too....trying to eat some subways instead of burgers and fries..hehe)

THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHOM REPLIED TO MY 1st QUESTION!!!

Steering wheel is okay. I have monster thighs (Ice hockey) and i have about 2-3 inches of clearance. I can't do a full wheel rotation without smacking my hand into my leg but hey...that's unsafe driving!

I guess no one got the Middle-Aged Man reference...."what...you're looking at my gut! Well, I'm working on it!!"



(singing) He's Henry, Clay Henry...

Damn ... some of you guys are kinda thick. You'd think as difficult as it is to go through a drive thru in the FD that you'd cut back on the fast food! :D Lovely stereotypes, though.

im 6-4 200 and ive taken my fd across country. and commuted from college in tucson back home to san diego about 6 times and loved every minute. this car fits like a glove i am young and limber my friends dad whose 6 5 wanted 1 but opted for a corvette after he had to fold up accordion style to get in and out<< i wish i could have seen>> well thats my 2 cents

Same size here. I find the FD quite comfortable but as previously mentioned, a helmet is not a good thing for me in the car. I tried autocross but that doesn't work very well when you can't turn your head due to a helmet. Drag racing should be fine, I don't turn my head much when I do that :)

im 5'11, 160lbs and its perfect

Im 6'4 250 and i sit ive sat in my friends and it was alittle snuge, and i took a long ride in the passanger side and it was alittle snuge at first but after 10 min i seem to fit right in!

Re: is the rx7 roomy?
 

You are talking about RX-7 right?

RX-7 != roomy.

I'm 6'2" 180lbs. I have not leg roomy at all even the seat is all the way back.

I'm 6' 175lbs and haven't had a problem yet. I've been on several 5+hour trips and find it more cofortable than any other car that I have been in, short of my GF's uncle's Mercedes. The car just kinda swallows you up.

The steering wheel is a little low for most people. I wish it's adjustable.

You should test drive one to check for fitment. Without your weight, it's hard to tell. It will be snug fit for anyone over 6'.

At 5'9", I find the steering wheel a little low. I can't palm the steering wheel when I make U turns bc the bottom of the wheel is too low. You can learn to drive with your legs apart I guess. Good ventilation for the boys...

Especially with the vent for ball conditioning.

Sorry I meant to quote

I need to get some rest.

I think its roomy until i need to cudle w/ my gurl.:D

The fd interior design by japanesse, are small people. they didn't keepin mind about us americans, or places that have people taller then 5'3' 5'7"..........:D

thank God I'm 5'4" and 160 lbs.(so I'm on the Happy side...so what!?!)
