5'6" (167cm)
Car fits great.
Occasional desire for lumbar support, but one of those mini pillows, or a small folded towel works great.

6'1" and it fits like a glove, although, definitlly want to lower the stock seat. I am thinking of cutting the tabs off the rear of the stock seat rails and welding them flush instead of on the bottom of the rail. I expect about an inch of drop. I have a few washers under the front tabs already.

5'10" 215. Fit fine, like we were meant for each other. Have taken long drives with little complaints. I do have to look under he windshield frame to see the light from time to time. Ingress and egress can be a small problem in a tight parking situation, but I shouldn't be parking there if it's that tight!!!!
Love my car, it's my fourth Honda, fifth if you include the Acura mentioned below.

It's an advantage on road tracks because it lowers the overall center of gravity. That's why all those racing seats are so low

One weird thing I noticed is that my height or leg length(?) seems to change from morning to night. Usually I am taller in the mornings
