It could be done with some modifications. Never seen or heard anyone ever did this, but it could be done...and why not?!

Do you cross your legs or something? Surely you can adjust it enough with the controls on the side..

Why an rx8 if you don't feel comfortable seating on it? Anyway, good luck on adjusting and modifying the seat.

I am 6'1 and all is good for me in the sport model with manual/cloth seats. This guy might just have longer legs than me though. Even with the seat all the way back you have problems? Mine is not all the way back and its good for me.

I'm 6'4" with a manual cloth seat, and I have more than enough room. I've driven models with the electric seats, and still have plenty of legroom, however the seat doesn't go down as far as the manual seat.

There is a mod here to lower the seat pan for more headroom, but I've never heard of anyone having leg room problems.
