Hi there, lurking for a while. Looking to get a Crossfire as they just look so dang cool! Worried about my height at 6'4" but I just need to ride one to make sure I fit well. Great info here so I am looking forward to reading more and hopefully getting a XFire soon.

HINT: The roadsters have more headroom, even with the top up !
( with it down, you should have no problem at all )

Ha - good one! I was more concerned about my legs fitting in between steering wheel and door / console. But I guess I could go with a Flintstone modification if necessary!

I'm 6'2" and fit in my coupe just fine. I know there are taller people than me with coupes so I guess how comfortable they are depends on where their hight is (legs or torso). Some people have removed the plastic cover on the lower part of the dash and have increased their legroom.
As ala_xfire pointed out, the roadster does have a little more headroom. I personally think the "cloth" seats in the base cars give a driver a little more headroom too. At least it felt that way to me.
If you play with the power seats long enough in a Limited or SRT, I think you may be able to find the "Sweet spot". Good Luck

Hey! I Love my Xfire! I am 6'2" and I got a bit of room, you can change the seat style really well, I seem to enjoy the comfort in my xfire than my accord, weird right? I haven't a clue!

If you buy one let us know how you like it!

I have a line on a car but ti was recently in the shop for "$2000 in electrical repairs" that started out as a blower motor repair. I am a bit concerned about the amount of the repair. I will ask the experts - should I be very concerned about this? I have asked to see the repair record before going any further and should see the car in person later this week. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
