Default How Tall Are You?

From the size of the interior just curious too see everyone's height with the limited leg room if you have a passenger behind you or baby seat. I'm 5'8 and love to have my legs straight out when driving. So if someone/something behind my seat i try to use cruise control so i can bend my legs and relax them.

I'm 6'0, 190lbs. I know, I know, I need to lose a few lbs.
The only complaint is that if I put my seat a little straight my head hits the roof and the lumbar support is too low for my back. Leg room is ok if I put my seat back and extend the steering wheel all the way out.

5'7" 111 lbs. Leg room is just dandy for me in the driver's seat.

5'10" with no issues with leg room.

Well, no issues with me. Anyone sitting behind me needs to be a bilateral leg amputee...

6'5"... Leg room is fine. Head room... Well let's just say it's a tight fit. Sunroof delete option probably would have been the better way to go.

actually, your height doesn't matter more than the length of your legs when it comes to legroom. i could be 5'8 with a short stocky body and the longest legs and i have to put the seat back all the way.

I thank God that i'm not but i'm just saying, everyone's height, legs, and body are different and that's gonna impact whatever room your looking for.

Edit - I can't find a good seating position in most cars anyway.

True! I'm only 5'2" and actually have long legs. I stand next to my friends who are a few inches taller and my knees are higher than theirs. I'm short because I have like no torso.

Im 5'10" (tall dark and handsome) oops wrong forum

seriously Im 5'10" 165 #'s and I sit just perfect. If I was bigger I am not so sure I would have this car IMO. I just have to keep hitting up the gym everyday

There is not much room for rear passengers or a baby seat in this car. I am selling mine as we speak for these reasons!

I am 5'7". I guess my legs are weird because the seat cushion keeps pinching my leg a bit before my knees and makes me feel uncomfortable cuz my circulation feels like its being cut off lol.

I'm 6'2" 190 and leg room is fine. If there's someone sitting behind me then I just scoot the seat pretty far up and still comfortable driving surprisingly lol. But headroom, eh could use a bit more :/

While the seats themselves are pretty comfy they don't offer very good lateral support. I'm 5'8" and find it annoying that my hair hits the moonroof area every so often. I couldn't imagine how little room those of you 6 ft and higher have. My seat is on the lowest setting, and the back is somewhat straight. Leg room is perfectly fine though. The only thing is when I adjust the steering wheel to accomodate a good position I block out the top half of the speedometer.

Now the seats in the IS-F... those hug very nicely. Coming from the S2000, every other seat just feels blah. Those things hug very nice.
