too long the legs, too short the hands?
Anyone taller than 1.80 /that would be about 5'13"/ and driving a 5th gen. prelude? I got a problem with adjusting either the steering wheel or the seat, all because of the wheel's limited regulation. Or I just don't fit... Has anybody tried making the steering wheel's rod longer in any way? An inch would do. /I'm determined to stick to the stock steering wheel./

i'm 6'2 and i am pretty comfortable in my 5th gen, i dont have to have the seat all the way back to be comfortable, it would be nice if the steering wheel could teloscope out but i make due. my only thing is i dont like to lean that far back when i'm driving so with the seat in a more upright position i rub my head on the headliner, and someimes smash it into the roof on hard bumps. these cars were made by little asian dudes so they did the best they could but weren't really to worried about acomidateing people over 6 feet tall.

6'3" I fit in my 4th gen fine. I even have to bring the seat up a bit(eBay seats). Steering wheel fits right in my hands but that's with HKB hub and NRG Ver. 2 QR and NRG wheel. PITA to get out of though.

its probably designed like alot of things with the 95th percentile. people that are taller than 6'1" are on the very top of that and would just barely fit as you say. do you fit any better in any other sports car?
i had to comment, the title of the thread is just too funny.

I guess I'm the shortest for now. 
lol, 5'7" and I usually do about 1-2 clicks from the furthest point foward. too bad somebody rear-ended my prelude. miss it a lot!
by the way, if you were 5'13" tall, you'd be 6'1". lol.
