6'4" and its ok. My legs are the main problem as they hit the dash & stereing wheel if I move the seat anywhere besides "all-the-way-back"

BTW: i got a 323 too and it has more head room. The mx3 roof is at least 2" lower than the protege & 323, hence why its seats & dash are mounted lower.

I'm 5'8 220 lbs. Not problems at all except when someone is in the passenger seat and try to use MY center console as their arm rest. Dosent happen that is where my arm goes.

Helmet might sit lower without the mullet...LOL

5'8" and I'm quite comfortable most of the time. I think because the seat cushions are getting a little tired, that and I like to have a little extra cushion added for longer trips. But sitting position is great. More space than was in my 69 MG Midget.

5'9" & the MX-3 is good fit. 1st ride was a 69 MGB roadster. That car fit perfect too but I was a skinny guy then. Classmate had a Midget & not sure a Midget would hold my arse comfortably today.

MX probably is better at accomodating my "average grown up" size now.

This is an old thread but I found it because I was looking for answers, as to whether there was any way of lowering the seats on my MX-3.

I am 6 feet tall and have trouble with headroom in many cars. The issue is that I really have the torso of someone 6' 3" on the legs of someone 5' 9"

I have to recline the seatback two positions to avoid my head rubbing. I like an upright driving position so this is not my preference. I always like to sit in the "Italian" driving position with back upright, arms almost fully outstretched and legs bent.

The car is still new to me and I am still balancing the factors of headroom, seat back angle, distance from steering wheel, distance from pedals and distance from the gear shifter to try and get the right mix.

Am interested in others' experiences.
