I'm going to an Expo in a few hours to sit in one, i'll share my thoughts once I get back.

I really dont want to have to modify mine.

I'm 6'3"…and I barely fit in the car comfortably….I think if you are 245lbs and 6'4" its going to be a snug fit…u maybe might want to go to a dealership and sit in one…IMO u will not fit. sorry but u might have not wanted to hear that… cheers!

I feel like a kid on christmas that got to open a present then had it taken away

Overall completely blown away with how great it felt to sit in and see it in person, interwebs dont do it justice!

you must be a contortionist! lol…thats amazing….I barely fit for length…I'm 6'3" 185….I ain't that overly heavy but I'm long…almost too long for the vette… congrats, lol

Hey jashobbsie,

I actually have mine already, if you're barely fitting it may be due to the seat position. with my seat all the way down then all the way back then reclined I fit really well.

Thanks

I am 6'4" and 248 lbs, medium to large build.

I fit fine in mine.

The key, as others have said, is to know exactly how to position the seat properly.

These power seats are tricky because if they are at or near their max in any one of a number of positions, then (as a safety feature against seat hardware damage), they won't actually move to where you want them to go, and they also will not store your settings properly.

If you are tall, you MUST FIRST move the seat all the way up to the pedals, then all the way down to the floor, then move all the way back to the rear, then recline. Then move seat bottom forward 1/2 inch or so, then recline again.

Now, if you are taller than 6'4" or have an overly large "torso" for your build, then this car may not be for you.
