First of all, Hello, I'm new to this board (Posts: 1) and I love it! I initially came just to ask this question, but I've been absorbed by the awesome threads, especially the 'little things' one, really great.

Now, my question is, how tall can you be and still comfortably fit into the `8?

 

I am 6'2" and I didn't fit well in a sunroof car. I fit fine in the sport package.

There are some taller than I, who have enough head room with the sunroof.

It all depnends on your torso and leg length.

I could fit in the sunroof with the seat reclined a little, but I don't like driving in that

position all of the time.

 

im 6'1 and can sit in any seat comfortably (at least when i set the front seats to where i would be sitting). this was just in the showrrom, and it was a slight pain getting my feet in the back seats, but once in, there was more than enough space.

 

I'm 5'1" and have no problem fitting, but I don't think that was the type of answer you were looking for. :p

 

im 5'10" and i have the sunroof, i fit fine, ive got a couple inches of head room, and have the drivers seat about halfway slid back.

 

6'3" - 220# - long legs - I have the GT with Sunroof and I fit great - - Not much room behind me in the back seat but my 13 year old daughter fits fine behind the passenger seat -

I drove a S2000 and a 350Z before I bought my 8 - I fit much better in the 8 - Longest drive I have taken is 4 hours, and it was one of the most comfortable drives I have ever taken.

 

I'm 5'10" and have a sunroof. No issues until I put on my helmet, then I have to lean the seat back more than I like.

 

5'11" I have a sport package.

 

5'5" I got longer torso in relation to my legs. It seem the car was designed for somewhat shorter average height (like japanese men probably)... Anyway, the car fits perfect for me.

 

6'2" and have a sunroof, and I'm perfectly comfortable with a few inches of headroom

Probly have longer legs and a shorter torso

 

im 5'19" 250lbs, gt package with sunroof, no problems, though i have the seat reclined a bit.

(no that wasn't a typo)

 

5'11" w/ sunroof. I have plenty of headroom. How tall are you paperclip?

 

I'm 6'4" I don't fit behind the wheel of a miata, and I didn't expect to fit in an 8. I have the 6sp manual sport package, and have plenty of room. I'm not sure how comfortable I would be with a sunroof and/or powered seats though. The longest drive I've taken was about 6 hours, stopping only for lunch and gas (no discomfort at all) Before picking up the 8, I had tried the 350Z, Infinity, and a Saab 95. I had planned to look at a few others, but I abandoned those plans after driving the 8.

...If you are concerned about the "fit", then why don't you go test drive one? I'm pretty sure you can find a dealer who would be very happy to show you how well you would "fit" in an 8.

It's one thing to read about the 8, ...but their really is no substitute for driving one.

 

6'0" with sunroof, plenty of room. 32" inseam :p

 

6' 2", hair just brushes the sunroof cover when I'm within 2 weeks of a haircut. The other 4 weeks are just fine, though.
You won't be able to tell whether you'll fit or not without actually sitting in the car yourself. There's just too many differences in men's (and women's) builds to say definitively based solely on your height.

 

Im 6'6" and have a sunroof, i fit fine in mine. Havent done any seriously long trips yet, but im comfortable in it

 

I am about 6' 4". I found that there is plenty of leg room in front, and with the front seats forward there is ample leg room in back for short drives for tall riders i the back. Long trips with tall passengers would be a bit tiring. :p

I have the sun roof as well. I also like to race. :D The sun roof takes up about 3" of head room and with a helmet on I have to recline the seat quite a bit to fit. Not that it is uncomfortable, but I would like to be a bit more upright.

If I had it to do over, I would not have a sunroof. In fact, I am most likely going to have mine removed and have a functional roof scoop installed and new headliner to increase the head room.

 

6'3". I fit well in my old Miata, and am just as comfortable in the 8.

 

5'8"....sport package, no sunroof...I fit perfect...I usually ratchet up the seat a little...

 

6'3" w/ sunroof

Generally, if you like driving up high so you get max hood view, this will be harder to fit in. But, if you're like me and like to drive reclined, there's no problem at all. I had an explorer before this and I had that seat almost all the way back and reclined so that it was hard for people to sit behind me, if that gives you an idea.

There's plenty of leg room, just limited headroom.

 

6'2" long torso (I acutally fit semi-ok in a miata. Knees almost touch the wheel.

When I test drove the 8, my hair slightly touched the sunroof. It felt kind of annoying but I really didnt play with the seat all that much.

 

5'10", With the sunroof my hair was brushing the roof. No thanks I need more than a couple millimeters between my head and the roof. By going without the sunroof, you gain another 1 and a half inches of headroom. And the car looks better without the sunroof, imo.

 

6' with sunroof. The more reclined the seat, the more head room...just no one can sit in the back seat behind me because they wont have any leg room as I have long legs and the seat is pushed back as far as it can go.

 

6'6" sunroof, couple long trips fit perfect..............i like tought..........tought as a touiger

 

I'm 6'4" and I fit just fine in my RX-8 which has a sunroof and power seats. I have the driver's seat all the way down and the seat moderately inclined, but it's a comfortable driving position. I have long legs (34" inseam) so perhaps a proportionally shorter torso makes life easier for me. I also fit in a Miata, by careful adjustment of seat squab position and recline angle, but then I'm motivated to fit in that car!
