Default How tall are you?

I just want to know, if you own an EK, how tall are you. Im 6'3" and I'm wondering if I will have any height problems (such as heads hitting the roof) if I get an EK.

Here's a bright idea.

Go sit in one.

Instead of being a lazy **** you could, you know...help yourself.

Us telling you that it's comfortable is about as good as us telling you that getting brains feels good. It's something you have to experience to know how you're going to like it.

Here's five pages of ones that are for sale within 50 miles of you.

Go take one for a test drive.

Christ, have to spoonfeed kids these days.

I'm 6'2"

I hate EK seats...they sit really high. I can fit fine, but I like to sit lower. A great option is Integra seats- you have to swap rails, but they will sit lower and have better support.

WTF man, Real answer my ***. I can guarantee you a 6'10" guy will fit into a mini cooper.

A 6'10" dude won't be comfortable in a civic unless the seat is laid all the way back. Even then his head is on the backseat.

You're 6'3". It's not uncommon to see guys that tall in ek's.

Here's another idea, I'll bet $50 there's a used car dealer within 10 minutes of your house that has a 96-00 civic.

I'm 6-flat and my little brother is 6'2". We drive Civics without complaint, although he has Integra seats and I have Prelude seats which both sit lower than the EK variety.

In the end, though, it comes down to you sitting in one and determining whether or not you like it. There are probably 46,000 EKs within a 100 mile radius of you. Find one driven by a cute girl and strike up conversation. Done deal
