I honestly would not buy this car if I had to keep the stock seats, the driving position is that bad (6'4"). I run a Recaro Pole Position and Buddy Club rail, the seat basically sits on the floor. Now I actually feel like I'm in the car and not riding on top of it, plus I can squeeze my legs under the steering wheel instead of angled around it. If you feel like it's the right car, don't let the seats stop you.

Yes that's exactly how it felt when I sat in the car it felt as if the steering wheel was " under me " if you like ... I would've like to have been much lower down with arms extended out in front of me rather than angled down.

x2.........a lot of factors come into play, not just a person's height.

To OP: You're good, just throw in an aftermarket seat and you'll be fine

Hi Mate

It's all in the driving position; I'm 6'2" and move the seat all the way back to get in/out, but while driving I'm at least four clicks from the back

Fits like a good pair of jeans
