I'm 6'6. I fit okay in a stock Soarer, but it isnt comfortable. With a deep dish steering wheel, big fat quick release, low Recaro rail and Recaro bucket, I fit great in the car, better than anything else I have driven. Head room/leg room are good, driving position is fantastic. I personally would like a lower seat rail, that will come eventually.

Also i am somewhere around 6'2, maybe a bit higher.
I'm 6"2' myself, and I fit comfortably. My best friend is 5"11.5' and he fits fine too. My only problem is that there's not much clearance between my head and the roof, so whenever I go over a dip or bump at a higher rate of speed my head hits the roof.

Ingress/egress in general is fine; it's not so low that you would not have to 'fall' out of the car (such as my neighbor and his 2005 BMW 325CiC). The retraction of the steering wheel is also a good plus, it really helps with the ingress/egress process.

I lucked out when I went to a shop that works on turbo Supras and SCs in NJ. Best place is to look on Supraforums, clubna-t and ebay.

I'm 6'4" and i fit fine. Basically what everyone else says, have the seat at its lowest position, right angle of the wheel and seat. Dont let your hair get too long and your good. Granted no one with legs can sit behind me, but then again it wasn't made as a commuter car!!!

I dunno..at 6'2" you should be just fine. I am 6'1" and after leaving my s13 for my SC- OMG what an improvement.

Granted I do adjust the seat as low as it will go, but still the most comfortable car ive owned to date!

I am 6'4" and fit inside only when I adjust the seat to it's max (laying down) settings and then my head still touches the headliner. I would not recommend either the 300 nor 400 for anyone over 6'2" wanting to drive long distances. For shorter distances I love it ...
