evo comfortable? I am 6'4"
#16
I'm 6'4" and 195.
No problem with height -- room to spare. My only complaint is that the "B" pillar is too far forward. By the time I get comfortable in the car, the shoulder harness isn't snug to my shoulder.
But then, I'm used to Italian cars, so for me, "comfortable" means semi-reclined with no bend in the elbows. This is also my first 4-door car since I switched from Plymouth to Fiat. (Hmm, last time I drove an American car regularly, even the President was called "Ford". )
The "Americanized" (e.g. wide) seats are a bit too wide for me. The upper side bolsters aren't too bad, but Mitsu must think we all look like pears, because the seat bottom is a lot wider than mine.
But they are regular Recaros, so most any other Recaro should fit on the same mounts. You can always just go for a body-fitted shell, or, if if you want all the bells and wistles, the Ergomed DS seats.

im 6foot 1, 260lbs, and my fat *** is pretty comfortable in the recaros, and plenty of leg room and head room, i used to have to sit all the way back in my eclipse for it to be comfortable, but i got plenty of room in the evo

I'm 6'5" and 300+lbs. I have an OZ with sunroof, but been for a ride in flybyevo's Evo too. Fit is fine in both. More room than anything I compared it to when shopping and the seats are also fine. Personally, I thought the Recaros were an awesome fit...
