i've always loved the mr2 because of the mid engine rwd trubo layout but there a problem i'm 6'5 and sat in a couple and my head touchs the roof and my feet are cramped as hell and my right knee hits where the shifter is i'm just wondering if i moved the pedals back as far as possible and got a plastic seat sitting very close to the floor if that would help at all also is there anyway i could have the car fitted for myself or should i not look into this? thanx

I had an MR2 and several tall people like yourself just cant get comfortable in one there just too small lol.

Me on the other hand im 5'6" and the car fits me like a glove and heopfully someday will have another one in my driveway.

If your looking for a MKI, Maybe try getting a T-roof model? other than that people over 6' just dont get confortable in small 2 seaters just like the miata.

I feel you, I am 194cm, 6'4. Same problem, I love small cars and mr2 especially, but it is imposible to find comfortable position.

I get into my MR2 just fine. I remember that I was supposed to give my friend a ride oneday from work and back. This was in my 240 and he could not fit in. The guy is 6'6 340+ lbs. Big muthaa. I was like :hah:

yea i had to change the seat in my 240 for comfort i could just sqeeze in i don't think a mr2 though a older nsx 91? maybe with a few km's i think would make a good project
