Step 1: find a dealership or someone selling a crossfire
Step 2: Go to location of crossfire that is for sale
Step 3: open door
Step 4: get in crossfire
Step 5: check to see if there is sufficient headroom
There you go!
actually only people 4'2" and smaller can fit in a crossfire, sorry man!

Re: Please help
If my roadster had wheels and tires on it (recent theft) and you were in the Ft. worth Dallas area I'd be happy to let you enjoy her for a day. Test drives don't communicate the feel of a car due to rushing salesman. Maybe rent one if possible or find an enthusiast close to you, offer a great lunch (hooters) and talk about the car. That's exaclty how I wound up with mine.
friend let me drive it to lunch and I was a buyer the next week.

After putting the power seat in its lowest possible position, and putting the seat back in a vertical position, slide the seat back until it reaches the "wall" behind the seat until it can't go any further.
Get in, and move the seat forward as close as you can get to the dash board without hitting your knees, then tilt the seat back. You should have enough space to find a comfortable position.

Re: Please help
I love my car, hate the thought of wearing it out (the day will of course come), and "fit".
But I have to be honest, at 6'1"/230 lbs
I think there's a lot of flavors of "six-feet tall". While it's true that human proportions are fairly consistent, some people are longer in the torso than the legs, and others longer legs, compared to the "standard proportion". That puts the waist in different places and consequently when seated, the differences show up.
I'm a little taller from the waist up than some people my height so that probably accounts for my squeeze (long torso and arms, wider shoulders).
I drive the Limited, 6 speed, (leather seats are said to be thicker?) sometimes it's a little uncomfortable after a couple hours. If I stop and take a quick walk, it's a relief.
It's a press fit. If I put it in cruise, there's no place to put my foot (size 12/13) except to bend my knee a little and bring my foot back toward the seat.
My left arm fits the arm rest on the door but my right arm takes up the whole console, leaving the passenger with just the seat and door armrest.
I have maybe 1/2" of head room and have the steering wheel telescoped all the way in.
Having said all that, I love a car to fit like a glove and the Crossfire certainly does that - I could just use another inch or so to be really happy.

Thanks to everyone for the help. It's greatly appreciated.

Insurance - it sucks (it costs more than my brand new, 3-times more expensive Jeep Commander)
So it stays home in the snow and I just swallow hard when I get the insurance bill.
