Socks Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 hi guys!New to all this and will be buying a glanza very soon hopefully., Love the look of them and the tunability. however ive never sat in one!Im 6ft 6 and most my height is in my legs. I can fit in corsas and fiesta's quite comfortably and ive drive a ep82 too, is the glanza more spacious then the older ep82 or tighter?After all i want to fit in it without pain!Cheers All!Matt.

ste91 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I've sat in a fair few cars and out of all the little hatchbacks the Starlets do have a fair bit more headroom. You should fit with the seat all the way back but there wont be any legroom for rear passengers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kennedy Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Should be fine..i know someone around the same height who fits in mine fine.How comfy it would be im not sure..might be worth going to see one and having a sit in it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 just look out for a sunroof model and u can drive with your head out that:D haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raz Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 i am only 6' and have my seat all the way back, my legs aren't able to be straight it has to be bent lol if you know what i mean if it was manual don't know how i'll drive it lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michel_M Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I'm 6ft 1 and I do fit the Glanza, but it's not perfect. After about 2 hours of driving or so my right feet starts to hurt, because I'm too close to the pedals. There's isn't a whole of room between my legs and the dash/steering wheel either. As for as headroom, there's quite a lot of it actually. I even got a sunroof and still fits perfectly with room to spare. I think you might have some problems with your legs though, I'd definitely try one out first. Oh by the way just remembered something, I thought that if you fitted an aftermarket seat with custom/other seat rails you might be able to slide back more. I'm interested in getting this done too, since the standard seats are rater shite anyway, they don't really hold you into place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lawsy Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Im 6'6'' and fit fine, obviously my knees are up by the steering wheel slightly but its not uncomfortable. No hassle! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebear Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 After about 2 hours of driving or so my right feet starts to hurt, because I'm too close to the pedals.I get that too, but whether it's due to height, or to my slightly splayed feet, I'm not sure.. Not even sure what height I am tbh! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starlet__SR Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Bucket seat lol, takes alot of the length of your legs away.Damien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bildo Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I have Bride seat rails and Evo Recaros despite not being cheap they are very handy.I am fairly tall and I found that the standard seats wern't perfect however since I've had my Recaros as you're lower down your legs aren't as near to the steering wheel.

kevink Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 i'm 5'8 but fitting other seats that slide back further and give more support has been the best mod i have done so far!biggest problem i have with the original seats are that te seating part is to flat and to short, so your legs just hoover above them.current seats are a bit lower, seating slants a bit back and entire seat is positioned further back.
