Weight shouldn't be a problem, however you will quickly learn the intricacies of ingress and egress !

The steering column moves in and out but not up and down. The release / lock is at the bottom, you just pull it out and push it in.

I'm 5' 9" and go at 220 pounds. I can drive all day in my Crossfire w/o being uncomfortable. No sweat! And yes, I agree with feedback above, one learns fairly quickly how to get in & out of a Crossfire.

I think length is a bigger factor than width for discomfort.

Well, I snuck in between rainstorms and bought it...y'all are right, bummer getting in and out but real comfy once seated. I also wear 12EEEEEE shoes and was worried about the pedals (3 of 'em) but that, too, is no problem. Roomier than it looks.

I am exactly your weight. 5'11 and 230. My only problem is getting my legs under the dang steering wheel. Otherwise, it's pretty comfortable.
