Big and tall
I need feedback from big and tall drivers of the Evo8/9. How well do you fit? Did fitment require any modifications? Can someone fit in the seat behind you? And give your height and weight(pics optional)

I guess I'm not super tall or "big" (6'1", 180 range) but I will say I fit way better in my Evo than I do my Jetta. Getting in and out of the Jetta I have to really bend my neck. The Recaros sit lower in the Evo and the roofline is a little taller so I feel way more comfortable with the seating in the Evo. I also sit with the seat a little more forward in cars I've owned with a clutch than I do with autos.

Thanks for the reply. I drove a Jetta also which gives me a good idea on how I would fit

The Jetta is just a lease and I use it for to/from work. I wouldn't want it for long term just because it's a tad too small, or so it feels. Exception would be if I got some sort of bucket seats put in so I sat lower in the car.

6'4" 233lbs I fit pretty well, someone small would fit behind me, but that's it. Gotten used to the car and I actually feel pretty comfortable in it, but I also fly small airplanes that are not comfortable, and you can't just get out and stretch your legs... so the EVO isn't bad all all.
