I can't believe some of you guys fit in this car. I'm 5'8" and a fit 160 lbs. My knee just touches the wheel when I let out the clutch, and I have the seat right to put the clutch to the floor. It is perfect for me, but I feel cramped in the seat with a leather jacket on. It must be quite a fight to get in and out of the car for some of you.
I've heard the C5 Corvette is great for big guys, but when some of my friends and I tried the Viper, if they were 6' or taller they had to slouch to see out the windshield!

have a sparco supersport racing seat..my legs are pretty short..so I scoot the seat pretty much all the way up ! The steering wheel is too big...I have a mazdaspeed D-cut wheel(uninstalled)..which I think will solve my issues

I'm 6'1" 165 when I test drove an FD I had no problems with leg room. Hell I valet I've driven Del Sols(manuals) and had no problems, so I wouldn't say an FD is smaller than an Del Sol.
I've always wondered this(never asked before though), if you install an aftermarket steering wheel won't you lose your horn? I really need a horn around here since there are sooooooo many morons pulling out in front of me.

i am five six, about 175 fits ok. if you are six five and 280 it won't be comfortable for long rides. the steering sucks(doesn't tilt) so you might have a hard time trying to squeeze those knees under the steering. best thing find a fd and try to get in. good luck !!! if not rip the

6' 3" 235 lbs. and I fit fine with 2-3 inches headroom and legroom is just right. Dunno what it would be like with a sunroof though.

Ex fd *****
At 5'10" and 200lbs I'ts a tight fit for my hips and my legs touch the wheel but I have enough headroom for a helmet even with a sunroof - I sit with the seat about 3" -4" forword but have to slide it all the way back to get in/out easily - My gf is 5'4" and thinks the seat is TOO LOW! oh well
