Hello

I am looking at buying a MK2 MR2 Turbo (Tbar Rev3) and I'm wondering if it has enough room for myself?
I am 6'6" with long legs (37" inseam)
Originally..I was set on a MK3 MR2 Roadster but after trying one out, there just wasn't enough legroom.
My knees were crammed on both sides of the steering wheel, meaning I could not grip the lower half of the wheel, headroom was limited (inch or so from the soft top)

They are quite limited, so I'm travelling outside my area, so I would like to know if I can fit or not before wasting my own and the sellers time.

Any input appreciated.

Many thanks

Sam

you will probably be ok as I'm 6.2 and fitted in my mk2 , you will still be able to move seats backwards and forwards but if its right back you will not be able to store the targa top glass behind the seats if you decide to take them off on a hot day.
my advice would be to try before you buy
hope this helps you

With the standard seats it was uncomfortable for me on long journeys. I'm 6'2. I sold mine for that reason mainly, if i was to get one again then bucket seats would be first on my list...

Except for that brilliant car, Rev 3 tintop import.

Thanks for the replies.
I fitted in it , it was bigger than I thought so ended up buying the car.
Seems comfortable enough on long journeys but don't think I would like it as a daily driver.
It's a nice fun weekend toy.
