Hey everyone im new to posting but have been browsing the boards for a long time. Im interested in buying a SC300 5 speed. Im 6'4 and not to sure about fitting into the 300 with a sunroof. I know 5 speeds are rare. Even rarer a 5 speed with no sunroof. If there is anyone around 6'4 who is driving a 300 with or without a sunroof, I was wondering what your experience is with fitting into the car and comfort.
Thanks

I have a 400 w/o sunroof, maybe I will get my tall friend to drive it around and ask him... I am sure it will be fine, I heard SC are a very generous car compared to others for tall people. Me on the other hand is a mear 5'7".

 

Im 6'4 205 lbs (muscle.. so im kinda bulky)
and i fit fine.. When i had my 97 celica gt.. i could barely fit..
Although on the SC the becuase of the coupe.. the doors don't open very wide. so ..I like Fall into the seats when getting in the car.. lol.

my car is auto. and has a sun roof.. i don't under stand the differnce in seating between the sunroof or with out. unless your 7' and you need to drive around like Fred flintstone with your head out the top

Don't all SC's come with a sunroof??

 

I'm 6'2 and fit fine. And no not all SC's come with a sunroof. I saw a SC300 5spd on e-bay with no sunroof and cloth seats:eek:

 

6'3"... long arms, long legs.
What room there is... is in all the right places. Another 1/4" of head room would be great. I don't know about another 1" in hight. You should test drive one.
Oh yea... it's pretty cool to climb out of that little jewel, stand up... look like you could just reach over, pick it up... and stick it in your pocket.

 

I am 6'5 and have a 95 sc300 5-speed (had a 92 auto first). I fit just fine, i just have the chair back as far as it goes, and works like a charm. I was conserned about shifting but with this car fits me great. You should have no problems.

Oh, and both cars have sun roofs.

 

Not having a sunroof is going to give you what? An extra half inch plus the sunroof is nice to have.

1/2 inch could be the difference between fitting and not fitting. Wish i was a little shorter so i could fit into some of the exotic cars out there. Not that I will have one anytime soon

 

I got an aftermarket sunroof. Small little sucker... Air leaks... but water doesnt....

 

I'm 6'3" 215lbs and I fit in my Sc400 and Sc300 fine. You have to tweak with putting the seat down all the way by pushing down on the bar and then play around with twisting the bar until it tilts to a comfortable point and then finally move it up a little to allow more tilt until you have maximum headroom. Takes me 10 minutes to get the seat right otherwise my head scrapes the ceiling. Thank goodness for memory seats.

I actually chose the SC since it had more space than other cars I was interested in.
