6'7" And Thinking of Buying 2nd Gen MR2

[falcon6]

Hi,

I am thinking of buying a 1990-1993 MR2 and I was wondering if I would fit in it. I am 6'7" and 220lbs (very slim). Any tall owners out there?

Thanks,
Falcon6

I'm 6'2" and do OK, but don't have much room to spare with a stock set up. I think most replies would be "No way", but there are some ways I think you could possibly compensate. Mainly the seat could be modified to go back farther and sit lower. This would be a special fit with a very close to the floor slider. Perhaps buy a new seat with a thinner construction than the bulky stock seat. Also, possibly remove the small storage box behind the seat to allow for going back farther. A T-TOP model would allow more head room because of the thin glass giving more head room than a roof liner (and it's removable). Bottom line is, it's possible.
And, for special occasions you could always adjust it and sit high with your head above the roof line- remember that James Bond movie with the tall steel teeth guy... one of the funniest car scenes ever!

well i'd hope you would sit in it and test drive it before you buy it. wo you'd find out for yourself.

second gen has alot of room compared to any other two seater out there
