6'5", 170. I know, I'm about 30 pounds underweight.

I'm comfy in my car, but I could use a little bit more legroom on long roadtrips. I dont find my mom's 97 to be very comfy. The center console just rubs against my leg constantly.

I'm 5'8" and feel pretty comfortable in the Max. However, I do wish the seats were much supportive/comfortable.



KLoWn: I'm underweight too. I only weigh about 120lbs. Just as long as you're not overly underweight or overweight, it should be fine. Well I never have to worry about my weight when it comes to racing. I can't blame that if I run bad.

That jammed seat of yours make me feel real tight when driving your max, you have to get that fixed man.

I thought I was the tallest person who drove a max...

6' 2" 185lbs. It took me about 3 years to find my optimal seating position. My only gripe is I wish we has a telescoping steering wheel. I will definately have one in my next car.

6 51/2 225 comfort is okay but my 3rd Gen was more comfortable. Right leg does rub against the center console on long trips.

6' 3" - 235lbs -

The max is easily the most comfortable car that I've ever found to drive. Went and drove a 2k3 with the intention of buying one, and just hated it. I didn't feel that I fit well at all.

5'9ish 170. Fits good. I just wish the steering wheel could tilt down lower and the seats had more side supports.

Spearco can fix that but its $$$...Didnt someone once put prelude seats in a max??
