I'm 6'4" / 191cm and 105kg

I had to move the pedals about 10-15mm, modify the seat base so it sits lower and more inclined (plus remove the roll bar heard rest supports) and with the hilarity of climbing in aside, I've got the drivers layout damn near perfect. Helmet and hardtop doesn't leave much room, and I dont want to think about flipping the car, but that aside it's pretty good.

Tldr; 6'4" works fine with mods

6'2" and a bit no issues, my own car lost the head rests to give a bit extra but have no problems driving without.

6' 4" and have no issues. The guy I bought my vx off was 6' 5" and he had no issues either.

Where are all these giants coming from?!

6ft 3. Tilted tge seat back slightly and added some padding on the back. Let's not pretend she's great to do long stints in, but in general pretty good. Wife is short and quite happy and comfy in the car

[siztenboots]

if over 6'4 do you need the seats, just rip the seat out hightower stylee

[Nev]

Yea, just rip the seat out and install a bean bag.

I kid you not but my best seating position is on the floor of the VX, makes me feel short 

[Nobbymogs]

perfect

 

thanks for all the replies im not expecting it to be like driving the Merc far from it or even the kit car so me thinks it be ok and lets be honest its not going to be my daily drive so dont really give a flying as long as i can drive it without having to rip my spleen out

 

currently looking at 3 diff cars a Red 2.2 SC a Blue turbo and a banana 2.2 although as much as i like the banana i would prefer a turbo or SC saying that there is a black turbo on ebay that needs some love but is cheap enough

Benefit of being tall is you won't have to move the seat back and forward everytime you get in and out like 5'8 shorties like me do

[aquilaproejct]

Benefit of being tall is that you get hit in the head with stones by passing trucks. Wear a hat!

At the other end of the scale I’m 5’5” - and only just reach the peddles!!!

6'1 and never had problems, even wearing a helmet (car was a soft top). Buy the SC!
