y0 dude, I found that was the case for me as well... but I am sure, just like me, that you have big feet... Get your big toe part on the brake and use your smallest toe to get some throttle on the go... it's not heel toe, but more like big toe little toe...


oh and I am 6'3" @ 175lb

I'm 6'4" and 215lbs. Over a ten day period I recently drove from Madison, WI to Chautauqua, NY, to Louisville, KY, to Bella Vista, AR, and then back to Madison. No problem fitting in my 2007 with lowered seat rails and it was a comfortable trip. Total 2,448 miles.

Mind you, I'm 6'3, but my friend can probably use the top of my head as a lean post.

It was the funniest thing... he barely fit in the seat and withtop down, his head stuck up ABOVE the windshield frame...

Remember hightower from police academy in the first gen civic? Yeah, kinda looked like that.

My friend is 6'11"...
LOL! Great analogy, I just watched that movie again yesterday for the first time in like 15 years.

My best was a guy who's 6' 5" and about 400 pounds. He of course barely fit in but I got him in my S2000 and IS350.

yea i let my buddy that's 6'8" 200lbs take my car for a drive, his knees were pretty much in his face but surprisingly said it wasn't that hard to drive. though as an owner i'm 6' 175lbs and to me that seems like almost the maximum size for daily driving comfort.

Couldn't find a picture but got the next best thing.

I love when he rear ended that guy. Guy comes up cussing, pops in his head, gets the hightower stare, guys face goes pale, resolute on getting back to his car.

I'm about 6'2" 210. I always fit pretty good, but then I installed Sparco Evo L's and fit even better!

6'1 and 165, i fit fine. i think about seat rails but havent bothered.

my brother is 6'2 and 240. with seat rails he'd probably be ok, but he's just a little too big for the car to get comfortable. of course he crams in just fine when we go somewhere, but i can get comfortable and he can't. his knees are ~1/4 - 1/2 inch from the bottom of the dash when his seat is all the way back, so he's pretty tight.
