What do you drive VS. Your size

[brucebanner]

Just wondering what you guys drive vs your stature.

Curious if some people give up some comfort in the vehicle they drive so they can drive something a little more fun or anything like that.

Myself I currently drive 07 Accord sedan & 90 Integra sedan. I have had a couple early 90's integra 2drs and a 98 civic hatch.

I'm 6'5 or so and about 240lbs.

The accord is the most comfortable car I have been driving. Trucks are usually comfortable unless I am a passenger of a regular cab.

How about you guys?

[B4tMan]

I'm 6'4 and 270 pounds and I fit perfectly in my 09 Altima coupe and the 09 Infiniti G37 sedan

[5fivespeed]

85' Corolla GTS + 5'8. Perfect car for me.

[max_boost]

5'5 150lbs

06 WRX
06 SLK

They're perfect.

:burnout:

[hampstor]

5'8", 160lbs

05 Nissan Titan (Crew Cab)

[psycoticclown]

5'5", 120 lbs

05 Legacy GT, pretty much perfect... next to a Mini that is.

[S13_Ryan]

5'11'' 180lbs + 1990 240sx modded

love it, adding a truck later for winter

[theken]

Six one 235 hayabusa and escalade and a 79 gmc half tonne. 79 used to be tight when I was 270 but I fit fine now.

[ZorroAMG]

6'8

Miata

[jdmXSI]

5'11, 155lbs and my 90' Integra and 09' STi fit me quite well(maybe I could put on 10lbs for a snugger fit)

[syeve]

5'2" 135lbs - Ford 350 diesel lifted parked on 17th. I'm the guy with white sunglasses.

[NickGT]

5'11" and a lightweight at 155lbs. Car is 2005 Mustang GT. No complaints on fit or comfort.

[xrayvsn]

5'11" - 150 lbs.

Porsche 997 TT - adaptive sport seats. Fits perfectly, very comfortable.

Lotus Elise - very spartan, and entry/exit are awkward, but much easier with the roof off. Once seated, it is comfortable, but the lack of sound deadening would make long hauls a chore.

06 Subaru STI - Seat bolsters are too wide for my frame, so there is some sliding around on the seat at the track or during aggressive driving. Bobblehead from the stock suspension and seats can be a pain on long drives. Otherwise, the high seat position gives a good confident view of the road.

03 Mazda MPV - Its a minivan, so pretty comfortable. Soft suspension, and very good visibility.

[Ukyo8]

5"7 and 150lbs.

S2K is super comfortable.

[Destinova403]

5'11 about 170 and my prelude is good for me... iv only got about a couple inches before the roof but iv never hit my head.

[Skyline_Addict]

5"10, 150 pounds....couldn't fit any better into the s2000.

the Fit could seat a 300 pound guy (or girl) with the space it has...

[turbotrip]

5'1 110lb - Escalade on 28's

[GQBalla]

5"8 at 165 pounds i can fit in anything :D

Too bad that wasn't true.

Seems like most who have answered so far are on the "shorter" side and would fit comfortably in a lot more then myself and a few others that have posted.

Makes me wonder what some larger individuals (NBA players) would be doing without people to customize their rides so they fit properly.

[vengie]

6' 175lbs.

G35 coupe

[RotaryPower]

6'2 , 180lb
99 civic hatch, no complaints.
have had reg cab mini's, they're kind of crunched for leg room

[Kloubek]

6'0, 230. My Sequoia is perfect for me - lots of room. I also have a TT 300z with Bride seats. Find the top is too narrow, and my shoulderblades rest on the humps rather than the humps wrapping around my shoulders as they are supposed to. Uber uncomfortable....

[JordanLotoski]

Wearing the Ed Hardy shirt? Pretty sure I saw you.

I'm 6'1 160lbs with a '97 Legacy GT wagon. Seats are low so it's not bad. In my other Subaru my hair would just touch the roof.

[sxtasy]

05 Dodge Ram diesel lifted, my penis is almost 2ft when I'm in my truck

[AE92_TreunoSC]

6'4 165 (im a skinny mofo)

I dont fit in either my 89 4runner or my 02' 325i nicely, they dont hurt me like my old corollas did, but they could be more comfortable

both have their seats all the way back, its rare i get a car I dont put the seat entirely back that isnt american.

[Graham_A_M]

6' 185,

(see sig for vehicles) plenty of room on both.
I'd feel completely cramped in a Miata though. :thumbsdow ...and gay.

[speeed]

5'6 135lbs
08 civic coupe

[TYMSMNY]

6'1" 180

IS350 - a bit on the smaller side... but still good.
GX470 - could gain another 100lbs and still be good.

[se7en]

6" 230

04 eclipse gt-s
90 300zx TT
92 mx-3 GS-T

there is a lot of short skinny mofo's here....

[TorqueDog]

I fit pretty well perfectly in the M5, though I can adjust my seats and steering wheel in a million bloody ways if I don't. 5'10", 162 lbs.

[Neil4Speed]

5 9' 155 I fit the Legend like a glove - The most comfortable seats I have ever been in.

The SC400 seats are alright, but not enough support.

[CelicaST-162]

5 11' 170

-4Runner fits perfect
-Pathfinder fits well
-Aristo fits well
-Tercel-Ugh
All of these vehicles(except the Tercel, the seat goes all the way back which is usually just perfect for me.

[Kardon]

5 11' 135. Aristo fits nice, plenty of room. I do slide around the seats abit though.

[cjay^]

6 2' 180lbs. Silvia has the perfect amount of room for me, but lets just say I wouldnt want to ride in the back.

[sxtothe240]

5'8 185bs in a 240.

I wouldnt say it's uncomfortable, it's decent. Stock 240 seats aren't that great to begin with.

[ShermanEF9]

you guys make me look big.

5'9 190 lbs and i fit great in my 99 civic coupe

[bituerbo]

6'4" 280lb, gave up the B5 S4 in favour of the C5 A6 with the same engine (2.7T) so I'd have a little more head and shoulder room.

[A790]

6'2, 215lbs. MazdaSpeed Protege has plenty of room :)

[Ashers]

6' 3" - 185 Lbs
06 Golf - Fits perfectly
88 CRX - Seats are a little too close to the floor
05 Colorado - My knees sometimes hit the bottom of the steering wheel.

[SoSlowDx]

5'7 - 200lbs

04 Mazda 3

[nat_skyline]

5 foot nothing... 120 pounds when I bought the Skyline -Had no probs at all with the bucket seat
Now that I have the big preggo Belly Im too close to the steering wheel so I had to Trade the GTS for the bf's GTR...
not a shabby trade for me :)

[Tomaz]

6'2" @ 225 lbs

I fit pretty well in my 1995 Volvo 850T however the seat will not go back any further!

The 1987 Jag XJ6 does not fit me too well mostly because of the limited adjustments available (seat doesn't move back far enough and the steering wheel is not adjustable). Also, the leg room is very lacking. Anyone with anything more than size 10 shoe (like me) will be finding that the toes will wear out quickly, and most dress shoes will depress the accelerator AND the brake pedals at the same time!

The winter beast (1990 Pontiac Bonneville SSE) is crap for comfort (at least for me)! It even has 9-way adjustable power seats! The seat does not slide back far enough, the seat does not lower enough, and the steering wheel doesn’t adjust to my likings. Keep in mind, I like to be positioned low, stretched out, upright, and my steering wheel to not be further than my wrists. My passengers are comfy and it has a very cushioned suspension for long hauls and winter conditions!

[LadyLuck]

5'10ish @125lbs

Honda Del Sol, was a little spaciously challenged when I got it at first, but now Im used to it :D

[Mr_ET]

5'8 150

08 Fit
06 Accord
97 Civic

Fit is good but feels slightly too big and too little lateral support
The Accord feels great
Civic feels great too but the current seats can't keep up with the cornering grip the car is capable of.

[blownz]

It is starting to look like a dating service here. Height, weight, type of car, next it will be hair and eye color and what your hobbies are. lol


Either way, 5'10" 185lbs, 2006 BMW 325i and 2006 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer

[Genjuro]

the S14 fits like a glove.

[randedge]

5'9" 160lbs

Used to have a AW11 (first gen) MR2.

My parents are really short, so for my height, my proportions are leggy. Just so that my legs could be comfortable, I would have the tilt all the way up, but even then I sometimes wished that I had a smaller steering wheel. Never really got around to that.

The first gen Miatas were worse for me.

Driven an original mini cooper a couple of times and have to start out of second gear because my knee is in the way of first.

My buddy however at 6' 6" and 320lbs didn't fit quite as nicely, he couldn't sit in the NSX, he didn't fit in the 2001 Viper GTS that was at Kulu, and he definitely didn't fit in my little Porsche, haha.

[Adrenaline101]

6'4" 200lbs
92 Soarer TT - Have to keep the steering wheel up so my knees dont drag and the seat is reclined a notch so I dont sit straight up and stare at the sun visor instead of the road. Seat holds me nicely.
(past)
03 Durango SLT - Perfect in all aspects..no clue why I sold it. Comfy, head wasnt close to the roof, great leg room.

04 WRX - Seat reclined a notch as usual in a car. Great seats and no problems with the steering wheel. altho was like riding in a 79 chevy pickup when it went over bumps compared to the durango.
