I am 5'11", 175 and I fit fine in my Elise. Ingress and egress of girls in skirts is interesting. I use for instructing and used to give a good friend of mine, another instructor, rides who was older and about 6'4", 220 ish. He could get in and out (he also races so used to tight spaces) but his helmet would poke up the soft targa top.
Lotus are incredibly fun. I killed three trannies and engine in mine, all Toyota products. The Evora seems to be a bit better, but its still a Lotus. Research and go in with eyes wide open so you won't be disappointed or frustrated.
I have an RCF but I do miss a mid engine action (a great GT but not a true sports car). Thinking to get an Evora S once it is cheap enough. However, a 5 mins research showed that the build quality is subpar.

I always thought those lil' cars looked sharp but i never really thought seriously about getting one, seems like they would be a pretty ruff' riding vehicle. Now, i guess you just confirmed about the build quality! But they DO look Sharp!

Once the Evora 400 makes it to the US soil, the price for Evora and Evora S hopefully will drop further. A local dealer has 20+ new ones in stock advertised at 15k off msrp before negotiation. I would never buy a Lotus new, but once the price is below $40k I might take a chance with the quality.
Last Lotus I had was a 94 Esprit S4 in 1999-2000. Was a very fun car with a terrible ergonomic and quality. Check engine light came and went and nobody could find what it was.
