Rx8
 

Does anyone own a RX8 thats taller then 6'2"? Becuz im in love with the RX8... But the problem is im 6'4" :/ i would appreciate some advice on what to do

Ah. Here's some advice... go sit in one? Adjust the seat, and if you don't fit, don't buy one?

why do people ask us stuff like this. just go sit in one. how are we supposed to know if youll be comfortable or not?

The thread title does a lot for me as well... very specific.

eh, he's just trying to get some thoughts.

I'm short at 5'3" and the person behind me is cramped, leg wise. However, you can take up that room by moving back the chair.

I'm 6'5" and I fit in it comfortably.

word of advice: sit in one with a sunroof and one that doesn't have a sunroof.
the sunroof eats up about an inch of head room and depending on your body type, that 1 inch could make a difference.

I'm over 6'5, have a sunroof, and still fit.
My seat is as far down and back as possible and with a bit more of a recline then I have in my other car but I'm still comfortable.

good luck.


P.S. next time you start a thread, you really should add a more specific title.

If you're 6'4" why do you want to know if anyone's taller than 6'2"?

Thanks jedi54 and im kinda new with forums lol

you're welcome, glad we could help.


Welcome to the forums. :)

same, and i fit fine and still have plenty of room, now if a person would sit be hind me, my knees would be in my face so if you plan on running 4 people around, have the shorter one drive lol.

Appreciate it bro

6'3"ish here. I like to stay pretty scrunched up in the seat, so I adjust it until my right knee is almost hitting the dash.

With the way I have the driver seat, I can actually fit myself in the back, so I thought that was kind of cool.

Get a convertible rx8...lol

Lmao convertible rx8

I got the sunroof model so you may wanna check with the non sunroof ones cause the height.

Ill let you sit in mine and you can see how you like it i mean really sit in it and adjust the seats and stuff -- let me know when you come to the block.

Aight ima come to the BBQ monday soo ill try it there

The real question is...how much do you weight? Lol

That could be a worse problem :)

I was about 240 when I got mine, and fit in it nicely. I wouldn't advise much more than 250 though. It would probably be a tight squeeze.

I am 6'4" and have no issues with my non sunroof model. Sat in one with sunroof before I bought, felt tight to me. But have a friend taller than me that has one with sunroof. His only complaint is when he wears his helmet at track days.

^Yeah, I'm 6' or so with sunroof, and it's a bitch to get in proper racing position with the helmet, but on the street you can lower the back and look like you're racing.

The car is definitely Asian size.

I'm 6' 11", 260lbs and I fit in my RX8 just fine. My knees do lay up against the dash, and I do have to keep my head tilted at about 45 degrees to the left or right, but other than that, it's great... well, I can't drive it more than about 10 minutes, but that's okay. I sure do love the RX8.

Hmph. In retrospect, I guess I should have actually sat in one first before asking nice folks on a car forum whether or not I'll have a problem fitting.

I dunked on Dirk Nowitski the other night, too.

You really need to try one on for size. Two, actually: a base model with no sunroof and cloth seats, and a GT or better with leather adjustable seats and a sunroof.

There are a number of threads on this topic. Fit depends on your proportions, not just height. I'm six feet, and the fit is just right, but someone with longer legs and shorter arms (or shorter legs and longer arms) might not be as comfy. I'm also around 240 pounds, and the seat (cloth) would be a bit less tight if I took off 20 pounds.

^ This. :yesnod:
