Will I fit?

I am 6'1" and 230lbs. I fit into the FC's just fine but there are no FD's around me to sit inside. Is the interior a different size in the FD? I have heard that it is smaller.

I feel like an idiot asking this question but I want to know if I need to even think about getting an FD. I don't want to drive for 5 hours to look at a car that I can't get inside of.

I'm 6' 1/2" and I can't fit in FDs with sunroofs - I bought the base model for this reason.

my brother is 6'3" and he fit in my FD pretty well, had the seat all the way back and tilted back a bit but he fit, you should be fine.

You've got to sit in one to know.

The headroom is not always the issue - the steering wheel w/o adjustability is my biggest problem. I'm 6'-1/2" 190lb.

Thanks guys, I'm going to run down to Speedforsale.com's lot on my mid tour leave to see if I fit and probably buy one if I do. Do yall know anything about speedforsale? Are they known for selling good cars at reasonable prices, or do they rip people off? I would also like to know if it is cheaper in the long run to buy a more expensive car that has less stuff wrong with it, like rips in the interior, bad paint etc.

I'd say it depends on how long you want to keep the car. I can't keep the same car for longer then say 7 months thats why I always look at engine and frame condition, everything else can be fixed with time. If I was looking for a car that I wanted to keep then I would probably look for a clean one right away and pay a little extra to save me the hassle of searching for parts later. It also depends on what you will be doing with the car. If you want a track car then you don't really need to worry about all your interior pieces being in place and in mint condition. If you want a show car then you might end up replacing the interior for something custom... If you got money and want an FD for a DD then... I would get something else for a DD
