Default How tall are you?

Some of you may have seen my posts about waiting for a Roadster which is so hard to do since the Coupe keeps haunting me. ANYWAY, the two reasons I'm waiting for the Roadster is; 1) have always wanted a convertible and 2) my boyfriend is 6'4" and had problems fitting into the Coupe. Now it could have been he just didn't have the seat adjusted right, though I've read that tall people have a problem getting into the car. Does anyone have a problem once they are in? I'm 5'4", as long as I can see over the steering wheel do I care if he fits? I should mention he just bought himself a Nissan 350Z so I don't feel too bad for him. Afterall we can always follow each other everywhere! Thanks in advance.

I'm 6"0 and I don't have a problem getting in and out of the car. I love to be in the car than in my bedroom. Just be a little extra careful not to gash the speaker cover with your foot. :cry: Saw a Crossfire with a busted speaker grill in a Houston dealership.:cry: :cry: That's where I got the warning. 8) 8) 8)

I am 6ft also and when I first test drove the car the seat was apparently in the most up position, and I thought as I drove with the tip of my head touching the ceiling was that this car was not going to work for me but putting the seat in it's lowest position did the trick. As far as getting in and out, yea it is more difficult then my Dodge Ram but my 86 year old mother-in-law got in and out with no problem, she did sit on a big pillow though.

Im 5'11'' and am pretty close to the ceiling if Im sitting up streight. You gotta remember one thing, since we're not standing in the seat, its really how far from the booty to the top of our head that makes the difference in the headroom. Some people are longer legged and some with a longer body. 6'4'' is pretty tall, I guess you could always ride in his 350Z when together, but compared to the Crossfire, the Z will be invisible :wink:

I am also 6 feet tall and I have no issues with the interior space it seems that I read a revue some months back that a 6 foot man would hit his knees on the dash? I don't know how this is possible unless his legs are 5 feet of his length :shock:

I am practically 6'4 and a happy owner of a Crossfire. Tell your BF to put the front and back of the seat all the way down, and then back and recline as much as possible. I fit fine.

I'm 6'2" and fit just fine with about 1 inch between my head and the headliner. My longest drive was for 3 hours and was very comfortable the whole time. The seat is all the way down and all the way back. I weigh about 225#. Not slim anymore.
