I've been searching the dealerships down here for 1 to test drive but there are no foxes to be found. Not even a 4 cyl. I figured i'd fit but thought i'd ask when i saw the thread. I drive my mom's S2000 on occasion but people actually laugh when they see me put the car around me.

Only reason I was concerned about shifting is my shoes are 13EEE and a buddy said the pedals are so close i won't be able to not hit 2 at once.

not sure about a fox, but the pedals on the 99+ wouldn't be a problem, because the gas pedal is much lower then the break, even if they were right next to each other, the gas is much farther down. i couldn't see that being a problem.

I personally find that the floorspace on the foxes is really cramped.

the sn95 and new edge are roomier but the 05/06 cars have the largest FRONT interior.

I'm not huge at 6' and 200 lbs but I have loads more room in my '06 than I did in my '03.

i dont think it should be a problem, but if its a little to close for comfort thier is a seat kit out thier that i think you just change your brackets and gives you like 3 more inches of head room, soo if its close u can always do that and its not very expensive

I'm 6'4" 210 lbs with a 13-14 (depends on brand) shoe size and the real selling feature of my '05 v6 was the room all around, head, hip, shoulder and leg room were all awesome (better than any other sports cars I test drove). Go for it, my only advice is to buy used, I wanted to but they just cae out when I bought mine... I test drove an 03 v6 that would have been a great deal but the room was nowhere near what the 05+ offers. Bonus ponts for the great seats.

Well I hope all of you are right, 6' 3" is pretty tall for me. I can fit in my moms 1989 Lincoln Oldsmobile easily, I even have to push the seat up for my arms to reach the steering wheel. I just want to be seated in the car comfortablly, if my knees hit the dash thats fine as long as my knees aren't being pushed to hard on the dash. My dad just bought a new 06 GMC Sierra (nice truck by the way), I have to push the seat up just to reach the wheel as well with the truck. My legs hit the dash on the Sierra but its not a problem.
