Default how tall are you?

I'm 6'1" and I don't really feel like i fit right in my tib.
no matter how the seat is adjusted it just doesn't feel right.

just wondering how the rest of you lanky tib drivers feel.

Default Re: how tall are you?

I am almost 6'1" and I have to have my seat in the furthest position to fell comfortable in my Tiburon. I also can't wear a hat while I am driving, it rubs on the headliner.

I'm 6' 2.5" and have to put the seat all the way back and tilt it. I fit. But if I were any taller, there would be no way.:

Default Re: how tall are you?

yeah the accent is more comfortable than the tib.
I find I'm always leaning a bit to the right in the tib. I can't stand having my legs totally extended on the pedals or driving lazy'boy style.
the seats in the accent are more adjustable so i can get a pretty good driving position.
but i do want to get some nice seats that would lower my eyeline a bit.
i need something with a high back, the seat's in mu bud's STI were very nice but i'm skinny so more side bolster would be good.
