My butt ugly **** fits just fine, I just made sure to tint my Crossfire 25% on all six windows so I can get the young girls to stare in wonder.

My girl friend still gets jealous. (You can see a picture of my sweet babe in the user gallery).

I’m sure a muffin like you won’t require window tint.

I fit fine. Though headroom in the coupe is too snug for my taste (roadster has more headroom - even when top is up).
6' 2" 225 lbs.

I'm 6' tall and I fit in OK. I think it would be a problem if you are taller than 6'2".

I'm 6'1" and have a Crossfire Roadster. I have no problem fitting. However, I understand that a Roadster has more headroom than a coupe.

I'm 6' 2" and have no problem with headroom in my Coupe. Sometimes it's tough getting my legs in if I can't swing the door completely open (like in parking spaces).

Yea i park in a garage everyday, and can never open my door all the way around. I found it best to open the door to the first stop if possible, then put your right foot in and kinda just flop in. Unless you want to hold onto the A pillar, no other real way.

Damn, I didn't know there had to be a technique to get into these cars. HAHAHA. Its like put your first foot in at a slight 34 degree angle and enter the vehicle counter clockwise. You will have to propel yourself into the vehicle at 7 miles an hour... ect.

I removed my knee bolster last week, and it feel so much better. I'm 6' 1" 200 lb and fit just fine when I first bought it. but definitely remove that knee protector will allow you to sit closer to the pedals.

Another person told me that the guy who told me that is full of **** and that they have ALOT of room.
As Crossfire owners I know you don't want to dis your baby in anyway but honestly, what is the deal.

Thanks,

Why do you want to get rid of the Mini? And what are the specs on it? How much do you want, miles, etc.

I am 6'1" and barely fit. I am more legs than torso. Make sure you take your wallet out. Or the pain will find you fast. On long trips it does get tiresome.

I say if you are taller than 6'1" forget it. If you want a two seater look into a vette.

That's the truth. Bugs me to take it out every time I get in. I put it in the storage compartment. The when I'm in a store @ checkout I realize I forgot to take it with me.

The stuff we do for our pretty little cars.
