Default Re: 6'2" vs. the Crossfire

I'm 6'1" and in my Limited. I feel like I just barely fit, but I think I like to recline my seat just a little more than most people. The more you recline, the closer it gets to the bulkhead behind the seat.
With the 8-way seat, you can get quite a bit of adjustment out of it.
I have to balance out putting it higher for a little more leg room (and have my hair touching against the roof as I drive), versus having my right shin just against the knee bolster as I press the gas pedal,
versus having my seat back far enough where the back is touching the bulkhead wall, which can cause squeaky sounds constantly while you drive which is also somewhat annoying.
Also, tilting the bottom of the seat can also provide some more leg room.

I think if you play around with all those adjustments, you should be able to just fit like I do. The squeaky bulkhead is probably the most irritating part to me when driving.
Mine is an automatic, I would think having a manual might also add another adjustment factor, where normally people like to get just the right amount of clutch travel versus how bent or straight your leg is when you use the clutch.

By the way, I did test drive an SRT-6, which has different seats. I'm not sure if they are the same as the Limited, but just covered in a different material, or a totally different seat. I felt like I had a lot more leg room when I drove it, so they possibly might offer slightly more leg room.

If the car is a reasonable amount to just go there to try one out for the first time, I would definitely give it a try. I think you might just fit.

You can also practice at home what it feels like getting in and out. Go in the bathroom, and practice getting in and sitting in your tub, then get out. That's what I like to compare it to, when I haven't driven mine in a while and get in, after driving one of my other cars.
