i've been in smaller..... like a geo metro, and a pontiac firefly.

i have a 323.
and im 6'5"

after throwing in the mx3 seats into the 323, i got an extra 2" of head space

so, i fit my car perfectly actually.

I'm only about 6'1" or so, no problems. The good thing about the mx is that the bucket seats are so low it feels a bit bigger in there. My dad (6'6") however always has problems with smaller cars. He barely fit in his eagle talon. He also test drove a Miata and a Mercury Capri years ago and loved both of them until he tried to put the top up! Couldn't even close the damn things! Don't know if he'll fit in the mx-3, but i'm going to visit him in MN soon, so i'll let ya know. :lol:

Yea, I'm 6'2" and quite comfortable. My first car was a '88 Mazda RX-7 and it was much more cramped and I was shorter at that time. I do wish the wheel would go about a 1/2 in. higher though.

my friend's 99 integra has less head room up front, and slightly more in the back. The leg room is probably the same. I test drove a 99 cougar b4 and my head was prectically touching the roof and im only 5'8".

I am 5'9" and for my height there is no issue with getting in or being comfortable in my MX-3.. now if I could just get my gut to be a midget.. all would be right with the universe ;)

I'm 6" and I fit very nice confortabely. I really want some nice Sparco racing seats, but I'm affraid it may put it too high. I tried Trevor's (i dont remember what company) seats and I was hoo high where my legs were hitting the steering wheel, even tho I have a smaller aftermarket wheel, i still want to avoid that, i like the way things are now, I just want more seating support.

6'5 and way more room in the Mx-3 than in my short cab Ranger. You just recline the seat a little more and look like you are pimpin to keep your hair from brushing the headliner.

I'm 5' 10" and have no problems. :P However, when I put my helmet on and adjust the seat to 'racing' position, it's pretty damn close to the roof. It just might be rubbing on the headliner ever so slightly. :?
