CRX's are QUITE roomy inside. I am 6ft and if I slide seat all the way back I feel like I am not close enough to drive the car.

While I am not a Honda guy...I feel I have a unique perspective on this....and SIred91 can vouch for this....I am 6'2" and 280Lbs...needless to say...a BIG BOY!!! I agree 100% that the CRX is incredibly room width-wise in the car...but, with my larger posterior headroom is tight for me....Which is why I drive a Jeep....

Now, in all my research that I have done for the RAFFLE CRX (Shameless Plug) I came across a Vendor(Sponsor) http://www.memoryfab.com that makes adjustable seat tracks that I am almost 100% positive will fit the stock seats on a CRX and lower the seat an additional 1-2" from stock height....which would be perfect for me....

Can anyone verify this with MemoryFab???

I can't verify this, but an alternative is to order up a bracket and sliders from Wedge. I asked for them to make my bracket as low as possible. I'm 6' even and I fit great in my CRX with the wedge bracket, Bride seat, and helmet on.

i wouldn't call 6ft "tall".
i've been driving my crx for 10 years with no problems. i'm exactly 6'. Do sunroofs make the headroom less? i have plenty.

It drops the headliner a good 1.5-2" in my opinion

That is where you get the space...when I have sat in the CRX Si that we are doing now....My head brushes the headliner....Now...40-50 lbs lighter, with less junk in the trunk and I would probably be ok...LOL

I'm 6'2" and never had the seat quite all the way back. I had more room in my CRX than my Accords.

i am 6'3" and 195lbs and i fit in my rex with the stock seats and stock rails without a problem, i just have the seat almost all the way back. I was actually quite shocked at how much room there was in the car because my dad went and looked at the car while i was at work and bought it right then and there. I knew what crx's where but had never actually looked in one none the less sat in one.

And not only do i fit but i must say they are an absolute blast to drive i almost never have a dull moment

Before we dismantled the car, the CRX was the first Honda that I think I had honestly driven. It was definitely a lot of fun. My only thing was the headroom....and I dont like sliding the seat back "Ghetto Style" so I just dealt with my head rubbing a bit. Tons of room otherwise, width, legs, shoulders, etc...

i taught my friend how to drive stick in my crx and hes 6'6"

all he had to do was lean back a little. may not have been the most comfortable position, but it wasnt do bad. you shouldnt have a problem if your 6'3" or less.

6'4" in my 88 CRX Si with sunroof - seat all the way back and tilted back pretty far.....im pretty sure im going to be doing the carbon fiber sunroof delete, strip the roof liner, and drop the seat rails when I end up getting some F1's.

6'3 or 4 here. I think there is plenty of room inside. I still have room for my seat to move back. With it all the way back it feels like I am stretching my legs straight almost to touch the pedals. Only kind of downfall I would see is climbing out being the car is low but really I wouldn't say its to bad.
