Default How about us tall people ?

Will we fit in the FRS ? I'm 6'3 and I love sport cars... but they don't usually like me.. Headroom is usually an issue for me and fitting inside with a helmet is almost impossible. I've been driving Corvettes for the last 14 years and now am looking for something more "practical" for everyday use..
Has anyone over 6 feet sat or driven one of these cars.. I can't fit in a Miata
(wouldn't want one anyways)... but the FRS is way nicer and I am planning to check one out.. All the reviews talk about handling and performance.. but
that only matters if I can fit

yeah...shouldn't be a problem. And you've been driving Corvettes for years and now you're worried about head room?

The vettes are roomy inside.. and have plenty of headroom..

I test drove it, I'm 6'3", and I didn't feel cramped or anything. makes adjusting the seat pretty easy (just shove it all the way back!) and I didn't wear a helmet but I did have my hair spiked up in a mohawk, I don't remember my hair touching the headliner.
