Enough room for a tall son to drive?
I'm driving my recently acquired 2003 SC 430 to my son's house next week so he and his wife can attend a church retreat about an hour away. My wife wants our son and his wife to take the SC 430, but I'm a little concerned because he's a couple of inches taller than me and the top comes almost down to my head. I drive pretty much all the way back (front seat against the back) and don't quite make it to 5'11", and he's about 6"2" and drives way back, too.
Can any of you tall guys out there tell me if he'll have a problem?

True story: A long time ago, me, my buddy, and my cousin were at a club and we took my sc there. My cousin is 6'1 and my buddy is 5'10 and bulky and I'm 5'9. I had to sit in the back while my cousin had to drive and my buddy was sitting in the passenger seat. We had the top down and they seemed comfortable while I was just stuck the back thinking to myself: "this sucks" haha! Anyway, you're son will be fine.

Ditto on the 6'2" and no problem. I'm fine with the leg room, although I may like being closer to the wheel then most. Tourists seem to like exiting from the left lane, so it pays to be up on the wheel.

I'm 6'1", and a bit "rotund". I fit fine.
One quick tip...make sure the seat is all the way down.
I test-drove an SC430 and fit just fine. But, when I went to pick up the actual car I was buying, my head was bumping up against the roof.
When I went to adjust the seat, it dropped about 2 inches! Apparently, someone VERY short drove the car before I did!

6'4", vary between 210 & 220, except over the holidays, when I once porked up to 228, and I fit fine.
If you have the seat all the way back (touching the back seat), I would suggest putting a hand towel between the 2 seats. It "quiets" the rubbing and reduces the wear from chafing. Hand towels are available free during your next hotel stay.....

6'4" - a bit more svelte than PHXSC and fit just fine. Good suggestion on the hand towel. I usually scoot the seat up just far enough so it's not touching the back seat.
