because I'm pretty tall about 6'5, and I was curious about how much leg room there is.. is there enough room to sit comfortably I plan to go test drive one on my next day off...any reply's would be greatly appreciated thanks

 

yup, plenty.

I'm 6'4, pretty evenly divided between legs and torso. I drive mine one notch forward from the whole way back, unless I'm on the highway, when i move it back the whole way. I find it easier to reach the clutch one forward.

Much better legroom than a boxster, BTW, which I really can't drive.

Best advice is to give one a try. They are much tighter on headroom than legroom, though I fit fine (I have a touring).

Cheers :D

I'm 6'2", and I have no problems at all. It's alot bigger than a Miata or anything of that ilk.

Although I think you should be good, optional equipment like the leather vs cloth seats are actually whole different seats and have different heights and dimensions, and a sunroof can lower the ceiling height changing the amount of seating space so think about what options you will want and sit in THAT car.

Should be OK though, but you do need to try it for yourself

 

I'm 6' 2" and there's more legroom than you imagine there would be. You have to like the feeling of being hugged because that's what the seats will do to you. I like to say it feels like a large breasted woman hugging me and not letting go!

I've taken my 8 on a 4 hour trip and it was VERY comfortable.

I've noticed that big guys like to drive big trucks but there's less legroom in a Chevy or Ford truck than the 8. Entry and exit will be tight but legroom should not be a problem.

 

6'3" here and i have long legs. i sit a notch or two forward and its perfect! this was a big thing i went through when looking for a new car! sealed it on the 8 for me!

 

Oh GREAT... as if I wasn't obsessed enough already! Mutter mutter mutter... I need to go drive a while... :D

 

yeah this thread is making me want to go out and drive. plus its a beautiful day here!

 

I am 6'3", long legs(34-36 inseam). I have a 6sp Sport package. Leg room shouldn't be a problem. I found 1 notch or 2 forward most comfortable. Depending on your proportion, head room is more a concern for me. I test drove a GT and my hair was touching the liner. That's why I went with the Sport, gained at least an inch or so in headroom without the sunroof. If you ever plan to use a helmet, definitely go for the additional headroom. I also found the manual seat adjustment has a more comfortable position for me. Anyway, you will have to try to find out what's most comfortable for you.

 

Hey Thanx for the info guys...yeah im cursed with extremely loong legs also..so being comfortable in a vehicle is always a challenge..but i've always been a rotary fan so I really hoped that the 8 would be roomy enough. but thanx guys! I'll definately be getting an 8 soon then!
