I want to get a manual. Do you think I will have a problem with the clutch? Remember I am 6'4.

I am 6'1" and have always driven with my seats all the way back and little bit of recline. This is the FIRST car that I have had to move the seat forward a couple inches in order to be able to push the clutch in all the way. So I think you will be fine with leg room and using the clutch.

But you definitely should not plan on any back seat passengers - the seat back will literally be up against the rear seat bottom!

Also not sure what you other six + footers are finding, but it is a little labor intensive getting in and out. But once your in its all smiles

I am 6'3" and need to put seat forward for about 2" to be able to get clutch down all way.
anybody who sat in it said wow look at the space.
No problem.

I'm 6' and my complaint is that to get the right "feel" at the steering wheel for the hands/arms. the clutch seems to be a reach for my feet! Would rather I didn't have to push the clutch down so far, clutch release should be higher. [:@]

Sounds like adjustable pedals might have been nice option.

I thought I read somewhere, it translated to 2" in the front, 4" in the rear?

Dave...
Are you sure it wasn't the other way around?

I'm six feet, I have a short torso and very long legs and I find it very comfortable.
