I am 6' 3", 200lbs and it was a comfortable fit. No extra room at all though, it fit me like a glove. Great for shots through the mountains etc., but murder on the back at anything longer than 120 miles.

I'm about 6'3" and I got everybit of 4-5" above my head. It's not height issues, but width instead. I'm only about 160 lbs, and I fit snugly. But it's like after you get used to it you appreciatte the snug fit and it makes more sense to you. I love the feel, and after a few rides, you feel like you got all kinds of extra room. I had more headroom than a 350Z, Celica, corvette, or any other type of sportscar I have ridden in. Get it and you will fall in love with it. Or at LEAST give it a test drive.

Yep 6'2" 200 here! I'm really comfortable in mine. I will say this the MY04 has noticably more shoulder room. In the MY03 I tried I had to get the seat right to not feel cramped, but the 04 fit like a glove, a damn fast glove though

I can't imagine anyone over 5'10" being comfortable in this car. I've had friends who are 6' and more sit in it, and there is no way they could drive this car on a daily basis. It's definitely suited for us "short" guys.

6'3" (I'm shrinking with old age) and 240 lbs. If someone my size sez they couldn't drive this car every day (I do) they obviously don't "get" the car. This car simply is not made for everyone which makes it all the easier for me to own one and drive it as much as I can.

Yeah but to all you tall guys, How many of your heads actually fit snuglly in the headrest and not over the top of it? I'm about 6'3" and my head didn't fit in the middle and it was irritating.
