am I too big for a 240??

[ox777]

I'm a pretty big person, about 6'1", 215lbs, I have heard some people complaining about leg room in the 240, will I have trouble sitting in a 240? will it be hard to drive heel-to-toe? can't I just scoot the seat back all the way and make it where no one can sit in the back seat?

There are a lot fo members here that are taller than you.And most have no complaints.

I myself drove a 240 this weenend at 6'0, 210 lbs I felt just fine (have long legs for my height).I wouldn't want to be a rear seat passenger tho at our size.

Ditto. I'm a hair under 6' and have had no problems in the 240's I have driven either. The owner of said 240 Fred mentions above is taller than you even and i'm sure he has no complaints.

thanks

I did do a search if you wondering jakejohn, but I didn't find that first thread

[lessthanjakejohn]

No problem, I imagine you would get a ton of search results for "tall" or "big", lol. I just remember that thread from a few days back.

I got you all beat. I am 6'8" without shoes on. I modified my seat rails but my S14 is a good fit even for me.

For all you tall guys,How do you do the heel-toe stuff? I'm about 6'5" and wear size 15 shoes. My height's not really a problem in most cars (you can just lay the seat back) but its my feet. In smaller cars, I can barely hit the gas without rubbing the brake pedal.

I bet I've matched revs on accident more than I have on purpose. LOL

I'm 6"2' 180,and i can tell you there's plenty of headroom there,but the legs can be a problem.You'll have to set your steering wheel to the highest position,and the steering wheel is still right above your knees,but i don't mind,in future i might get a smaller steering wheel,which would fix the problem.I wear size 14 shoes,and i never caught the brake accidently.

I too am w/ Jaeger.. I am 74 inches tall 6'2" and weigh 200lbs, and I love how the s13 encapsulates me.. I hate rolling around inside a carr when cornering.. Alot of things to brace your lega with, but enough room to be comfortable.. The drive home from buying it was 2 hours, and I didn't want to get out of the car..

I can forsee a problem if you lower it, because I am, and I need to throw my legs in 1st or adjust the steering all the way up to get in fast or jump out quick..

Other than that, it feels like the car was made for me.

EDIT: Also I have problems heel-toe shifting.. I use a new techinique, cause my size 13 stompers cant move their heels over enough.. Its called toe-toe shifting =) And it works almost as well.. Damnit I need new pedals.
