All,

OK, had a test drive and at 6.2 I found it a tight squeeze. Anyone else have problems? Funny but the longer the test went on the more I felt the car became an exatenion of me.

Do things settle down? Think if I do take the plunge i will have to buy the gf a new car to compensate!

Depends on your proportions. If you intend to track it you also need to factor in the wearing of a helmet...

Yeah, can't see there being room for a helmet. Who cares...an amazing car on the road. A noble drive is one of those markers a petrol head never forgets.

I'm about 6' 2" and with a helmet on its a bit of a struggle but not too bad. Just put the seat as far back as you can whilst still reaching the pedals and controls.

I'm 6'4" and I've never had any problems fitting in the car. I've found it very comfy and never get back ache.

Drving with a helmet on does cause a few problems, but I just pull the straps down hard and it gives my enough clearance.

It is possible to have a removable section in the bottom of the seat to make more headroom when you have a helmet on, but as yet I've not had it done.

I'm 6' 1" and needed the M400 seats adjusted down a bit (a spanner job) to make space for the helmet.

After that I was too far from the steering wheel so I added a spacer to extend the steering column reach by 1".

Now it's perfect.
