My dad's 6.2" and he seems to fit in his ok. It's like human oragarmy to watch him get in, but he is old though

[Samwise777]

Yeah you ll be fine, I've got buckets and as you naturally sit quite far back in them anyway all should be well :)

I'm 6ft 6 and fit just fine with standard seats. I have the rail extenders on so there isn't much room behind the drivers seat but oh well!

[racingbob]

well i'm just over 6' and no way can get properly seated had to make some extentions myself
to bring the seat right back and lower it. if NOT it just a horrible drive, knees touching steering wheel changing gear
so beware people over 6'

not saying i couldnt drive the car but wasnt pleasent

I'm 6'6"...maybe a bit more. When you pass 6'4" I don't think it matters. The stock seats sit pretty low so headroom was never much of an issue. Leg room is because I had bend my right leg a bunch to work the pedals. Well, that was a problem because that put the shift lever under my right knee. Talk about shifting issues. I also normally wear size 14-15 shoes. That made it impossible to work the pedals well. I got some size 12 sneakers that I could just squeeze into and that gave me back 3 pedals.

So I moved the seat rails all the way back till the front seat touched the rear. I had to weld in a support under it as there's not much to bolt the rails to behind the stock seat rail location. I then put in a longer shift lever to make sure my knee stayed beside it and not over it. It sounds like a lot of work but it made the car much better for me. I thought about taking the rear seat pocket out but I didn't have to go that far.

I did take the B pillar bolt and shoulder hardness out. That gave me an inch more shoulder room. That was welcome. It sounds nuts but I changed to a 3" aircraft style lap belt that works well. It's not a real type so I can cinch it very tightly so I move less in the seat than I did with the 3 point. I'm going to change the drivers seat and go to a 4 point harness. But for now, things are working well.
