200SX - Will i fit?

[yakubu]

Interesting stuff on the 200sx in the rest of this forum - but one question i always have to ask is, at 6'4", will i fit in the driving seat?
Any guidance as to how much space these cars have in them would be gratefully received!

I had an S14 200SX for over 3 years and at 6'01" had no problems at all ..... but then an extra 3 inches could make all the difference

Seriously I don't think it would be any more of a squeeze than many cars - the only way to be sure is to try one. It certainly doesn't have issues like, say an S2000 which is known to be a bit small for some people (though again I found it OK). I always found the inside of my 200sx quite spacious compared to what I originally expected.

No way you'll fit in the S13 pop up light version.

Admittedly mine had a sunroof which robs an inch or 2 but I'm only 6' and barely fitted.

I'm 6'2 and I fitted into my S13 200sx fine. In fact I don't think I even had the seat all the way back!

You may *just* squeeze into an S13 (I'm 6'1", but don't plan on doing any track days as my head was rubbing on the roof when wearing a helmet.

Can't really comment about the S14a as I have bucket seat fitted which has changed the headroom quite a bit.

I'm over 6ft, and had no issues in my S13??

I'm 6' 3" and I have no problems fitting in mine. I had a Saff cossie before and apart from the roofline being lower and the cockpit feeling a bit more confined it's fine and I even fit with a crash helmet on unlike in some othr cars I could mention. Hope this helps.

Yeah I'm 6ft4 and fitted in both my s13 and s14 fine. I tend to drive quite 'upright' as well, so I don't envisage any problems for you.

OK, thanks for the info guys...the 200SX my head had been turned by was sold - so now i'm wondering if i can fit into an MR2 (old style coupe ones, new ones are too girly!)

You should be able to fit into an MR2 as well, I had an MR2 Turbo before the 200sx and I was fine in that, in fact my mate who was 6'5 was fine to drive it as well.

Me too in the wife's S13, no problem.

Even more space in the S14, you'll be fine. Helmets will have you just brushing the headlining, may be worth trialling. Great motor though, Manual S14a Touring. Miss mine!
