Hi all, I’ve arranged to view an RCZ tomorrow with a view to purchase. I’ve admired these cars for years and always fancied owning one. Now, thanks to my soon to be ex buggering off, my wish might come true.

Thing is, I’ve been watching a few (gazillions) YouTube videos. One of them suggested that the manufacturers designed them with their countryman Napoleon in mind. Now, without being overly modest, I’m definitely not from the petite side of the pitch. I’m 6’2” and shall we say “generously” proportioned. The guy on the video said he was 5’8” and could barely get enough legroom.

so my question is, “Is it possible to fit in and drive when you’re over six foot tall?” . I’ll be gutted if not but I don’t want to get all giddy and waste the sellers time. Thanks folks.

I’m 6.1 and from time to time 100 to 120 kg weight. No problems at all I event tried to sit in back seats, wasn’t the pleasant experience but it worked. If I put seat to the lover point I have plenty of space above my head.

I'm 6ft and fit ok. I did have issues with a lack of leg support. I fitted some wedge shape washers and spacers under the front of the seat mounding rails to angle the seat backwards. It worked a treat.

Thanks for the replies, very reassuring. I’ll go and have a look and maybe I’ll be a fellow owner by tonight 😁
