Tall guys

That's odd, as the Genesis Coupe had better headroom, and a better view out for me.

6'7" 250lbs. Might not own one, but I've driven a couple. I could sit in those seats for days.

Might look good on paper, but really I'm a weakling who wouldn't hurt a fly, haha.

So I'm 6'4" (193 cm) and 320-330 pounds (145 - 150kg) depending on what I had for lunch. I fit better in a 2015 Mustang than I do in a Hyundai Genesis Coupe which is listed as having more head room. I also have an afro, that adds another 5 1/5 = 6 inches (14 15.25 cm). I do not fit into the drivers seat of a Miata or Honda S2000, hell I can't sit in the passengers seat of an S2000, I am not wanting for leg room in the Mustang.

My other car is a Mercury Milan V6 (Mondeo ST220) the Mustang is wider inside, I can rest my arm on the door arm rest OR window sill and keep my hand on the wheel of the Milan/Mondeo, but not the Mustang, the whole door is maybe 2 - 3 inches further away.

For good measure I just checked my inseam, 35.5 inches (90 cm). So yeah, I need leg room.

Edit for more info: Also my hair does not hit the ceiling in a Mustang, it's pushed down a few inches in the 'more head room' having Genesis.

This is ME... I'm more like 5' 11" or 6 and I am still "adjusting" the seat to my specs. I haven't ACTUALLY had a day to really figure out the seats. I'm hearing the RECAROS are actually bigger? The weirdest thing for me is the HEAD rests.. They seem to be in a strange position.


What is this EASY entry thing you guys are talking about?

Probably the only time I've heard a man say he's happy being short

In regards to the topic, I can't be much of help since I'm 6'0 195 lbs but I fit just fine, I don't feel anywhere near cramped.

I'm 6'6" and 275 lbs shoe size 14 and fit like a glove.
No worries mate.

 

[Noobtastic14]

6'3" 171lbs and agree with everybody else! Don't worry about comfort this car has plenty. power/heat/ac seats EB Premium.

6'2" and the seat isn't all the way back or down.

The easy entry/exit will be your friend though. I turned it on and love it now.

Yep. I didn't think I would use easy entry/exit but I tried it and I love it.

I'm 6'3" and 195 lbs with 42 - 43 inch shoulders. Standard power seats and fit great.

Just remembered I posted this here. Just to confirm, as a 6'5 guy, I felt very comfortable sat in the Mustang on my test drive on Saturday.

6'6", 240lb, size 13 shoes, 38" inseam, California Special seats (I highly recommend them). I have done several 250 mile trips, some with a 9 year old in the seat behind me... No problem at all even when giving up several inches for the back seat to have space.

I like to tilt the bottom of the seat so that the front is as high as possible (and back as low as possible) to spread out my weight onto the backs of my legs. This seat wouldn't go quite as far as I would have liked (e.g. the seat in my previous car), but was adequate. Climate controlled seats blowing cold for the trip is a significant improvement (in summer, of course).

Finding a comfortable place to rest my right leg with my foot away from the pedals while the cruise control was on was the toughest for me. Mostly because the center console combined with the angle of my tucked leg didn't support my knee as much as I was used to with my previous car. But not too bad.

Now that the car has been in the hands of real people over the past few months and me watering at the mouth for when they'll final be available in the UK, can anyone who is on the taller size of average let me know what the car is like to sit in and drive long distances in please?

I'm 6'5" and 210lbs, there are definitely cars that I've sat in that have been quite uncomfortable, especially for long distances so i'm hoping the new Mustang will offer a place to relax and enjoy 200 miles of open road without being such a pain in the neck.

Can you also let me know if you have the recaro seats or the normal seats, not that I believe the recaros are an option in the UK?

I'm a bit over 6'4 and ~205 so we're pretty similar. I have the Premium leather seats in my GT. Longest one-way trip I've done is about 400 miles and then 400 back the next day. No problems at all. The seats in this car actually can go back too far for me, and I've got pretty long legs. Headrest is adjustable so it fits my head fine, plenty of clearance and great sightlines (as compared to the Camaro which is like driving using a periscope thing from a WWII tank.)

Most comfortable seats I've been in, and I've been in countless trucks, 2 (older) vets, and a Camaro (never a BMW or Audi, assuming those are nice).

Edit: Just make sure you ass-first into the car and use your arms a bit on the way out instead of sliding out so you don't damage the seat.

And make sure your wife's pants don't have any bling on the back pockets or you'll get plenty of scratches/scuffs on the leather as well...
