Guest benbigdude Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 This is my first post - so hello to you all.. I am currently based in Australia, but will be moving back to Bournemouth soon and I have got new cars on the brain. Having driven a Nissan Patrol for the last few months I can't wait to get back to something that with some grunt. My last 2 proper rides have consisted of a Evo 8 FQ-330 and a BMW Mcoupe, but leg room has always given me issues. I was wondering if there are any vertically challenged (6' 6") Supra owners out there and how they get on. Cheers Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian R Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I am 6ft plus and find the supra very comfy (ample legroom) better than my daily driver infact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 My son is 6ft 4 and 17 stone, he reckons it is best he has driven (for room alone ... lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 well I'm 6ft 10 and it's the biggest car for leg room I've owned.... fits like a glove! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 wouldn't 'vertically challenged' mean those little guys..? I would prefer vertically empowered I think..?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 6'6" and it's no problem for me. I don't even have the seat all the way back! Headroom is OK as well - just a problem with a crash helmet on track... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSupra Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I'm 6ft 4" and the Supra gives me the most headroom of any car I've had. As for leg room, I specifically bought a really small steering wheel, so now it's also the only car I've ever driven that I can put my knees together in!!!! Amazing amount of leg room mate, you'd be surprised how much room there is inside (only in the front mind ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 you'd be surprised how much room there is inside (only in the front mind ) god yeah, even a child would struggle getting in the back.... only good for shopping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 god yeah, even a child would struggle getting in the back.... only good for shopping! Behind you but behind the passenger side there is plenty of room for another person - well i say plenty i can fit and i'm 5"5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 You know what they say. Tall men have big feet and big feet usually means they have erm a flash car to compensate. I fall into the 6'+ drivers group too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
