what 2nd gen do you drive (sunroof/no sunroof, things that would affect interior room) and how tall are you. just trying to judge the drivers space in the car, ive sat in them a bunch of times but i cant reall get a feel for what size could fit in it.

I'm 5'9" or somewhere around there.. and I fit very comfortably in my vert.. with the top up.. I keep my seat almost all the way back.. and lean back alot to though.. I am sure that if I had to sit upright.. I would rub the top with my hair.. But I am a sloth and I slouch so that is not a prob..

I'm 5'6" and with my Corbeau seats, it really lessens the headroom. I sit waaayyyy taller now.

I'm 6 foot 2 inches. I drive a 90 TII with stock seats and sunroof and have a decent amount of room. I drive long distances and feel fine. I've also done this in an 88 TII. This is the car that told me to sell my 00 s10 extreme short cab and buy a TII. There was no room at all for me in the truck. It actually started to hurt my back. With the TII I have to push the seat all the way back and recline it until it hits the bin behind it. If you're much taller than me like 6'6" then I think you might run into some problems.

6'. I have vert seats in my 90 GTU, and they sit higher and farther forward than the coupe seats. In other words, I need about an inch more seat travel. Headroom is never a problem, but I still prefered sitting lower with the coupe seats.

I am about 6' and have an '89 TII w/ Corbeau seats and the headroom gets a little tight every once in a while but its not really a problem.

great you're roughly my height lol



if i put in aftermarket/racing seats (i dont consider anything but real 5 point harness, nonreclining seats as racing seats, to me it seems ricey to call any aftermarket seat a racing one lol) would i be able to gain more leg room?



im weird my knees in all my cars (wrangler, durango, and every thing i drove before that) i make close to the dash and recline the seat back so i sort of slump, when im a little inebriated then i give tons of leg room and like a more straight up seatback.
