Man, you guys are beasts. I'm only 5'7". Haha.

I can't see how some of you don't have problems getting in and out. My friend is 6 ' 3" and he looks really uncomfortable in my car.

I'm 6'3" and I wish I could get the seat one inch lower because I feel like I'm either reaching for the wheel or vice versa my legs are cramped. Maybe I have a short torso? If the tC had a telescoping steering wheel that would help too.

Madilim

Haha, I was gonna say that. I'm 5'4" and I fit in my car just fine.

Although my friend is 6'3" and his legs are cramped. Everytime I shift into 5th gear, I hit his left knee...

i love being tall, people are always asking you to get things off of high shelves, and when you are making close quarters conversation with girls, you can be looking down their shirts while they think you are looking them in the eye...

on the downside, i am too big to fit into some cars that would probably be a blast to drive like the s2000. sat in a nissan 350z and it made me feel alitle claustraphobic with the complete lack of headroom. sigh...

True, being tall rocks!

draxcaliber

the best part is putting things outta reach of shorties. like when i leave the room for a second while watching tv, and i know somebody will change the channal as soon as i put down the remote, so it all the way on top of the entertainment center where no one can reach it so it is always there when i return.

mwahahahahahahahahaaaahahahahahaha

television domination!

punkemoskaHXC

Haha..Dang, what a fearsome ability.

draxcaliber

yes...short people are helpless before the daunting obstacles of things on high shelves. guess you'll have to carry a step ladder with you at all times! mwahahahahahaa!

im 6'7" and I feel like is just a TAD bit cramped, but I can deal with it. I found if you unbolt the front seat bolts, and put a few washers under there, it tilts the seat back, and fits me much better.

According to me, everybody in this thread is short

punkemoskaHXC

Oh man. That's redonkulous. Talking to him ought to stiffen up your neck.

And, as if its not intimidating enough, perfect scores on ACT and SAT! PERFECT SCORES!

Rather, I'd be scared to be his child. So much expectation.

His wife is really nice, i think they have a kid, but yeah, apparently his parents were also ACT/SAT masters

I remember starting a thread like this when I just got my tC. I was looking for a way to move the seat back 1-2 more clicks to get another 2-3 inches of leg room for long trips. All I got was 4 pages of "I'm X height and I fit fine...". Obviously not very helpful.

I'm 6'2", and my heart broke the day I sat in an S2000 and I was looking OVER the windshield. Dreams...crushed.

I know the feeling, I sat in a Corvette, it would be top off only driving.....always

kiefermr

My brother modified the seat rails in his Plymouth Acclaim so that it sat the seat back another two or three inches... so, I guess that's always an option.

monkeysauce

how?

kiefermr

Take out the driver's seat and then make a couple adapter plates that relocate the mounting holes for the seat rails to a little further back from where they currently sit. I think he just used some aluminum stock and put a couple holes to figure out where exactly he wanted to have them shifted back to.

hmmm...i wonder how safe that^ is
