Enough room for tall drivers?

[kbgl]

Well, I got to sit in both today, and they are too small for me. If I could add another 2" of leg room, I might have been comfortable in the sedan. I'm surprised anyone 6'7" could drive either comfortably, but peoples bodies fold differently I suppose, and comfortable is relative to what you're used to, or what you will put up with. I suspect that someone 6'2" would be comfortable in either, and 6'4" comfortable in the sedan. This of course is speculation on my part, and I only mention this to help anyone over 6' that might be considering these cars.

I was afraid you would come to this conclusion as you are pretty tall!

I think the body make up has as much to do with it as well -- long torso and short legs or long torso long legs will find the headroom too close for comfort. "Short" torso regardless of leg length even when over 6' will most likely have enough head room.

Another post on this subject...I finally sat in a leather-seat equiped Koup SX. To me there is even less head room than in a cloth-seat equiped Koup SX. The bottoms of the seats are different designs and it felt to me that the leather seats are slightly taller.

I'm 6'1 200 lbs and I fit fine and comfortably, The only thing is that when i have someone sitting behind me i have to move the seat up a little bit but is still comfortable.

Im 6'4" 220 lb's and fit the sedan rather nicely.. plenty headroom.. leg room is good....

Im noticing

A) Anyone owning a forte is over 6 ft?
B) or this forum has a bunch of tall mofo's

Lol I'm a 5'3" 96LB girl lol so I actually thought this car was humongous for a coupe. The back seat is pretty huge actually.. For me. But I hope you find a car you can fit in that's as cool as this one.

I have the seat back adjusted so I'm leaning back just enough to be comfortable and sitting a little forward in the seat. I will deal with the headroom issue in order to own such a fun car. The driver's seat has a height adjuster, just make sure your at the lowest setting. A friend of mine sat in the car and he is 6'2" and was amazed at the leg room.

Any tall driver needs to test drive the car for themselves, because only you can tell if you will be comfortable. Remember, cars are designed based on someone the height of 5'8".

GOOD LUCK!

Im 5'8 and it suited me very well. I can even play basketball inside,shoot first then dribble.. jk.
