rallyruss Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I have a guy that really wants to buy my RX but he does not think he will fit. he sat in a xt and it was too tight. is the interior about the same as a RX? I would like to find out what you guys think before telling him to come all the way to my house only to find out he wont fit. any tall guys here?

junkyardgabe Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 i'm 6'2" and i like how i fit in any subaru i think theres more room in a rx over a xt and i'm 325lb so if that isn't an example for ya i'd don't know what would be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewcifer85710 Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I'm 6'3/250# and have no problems fitting into my 86 GL wagon. Room to spare, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 6'2 1/2 i fit in my gl10 wagon just right, when i ride passenger the shifter hits my knee i swapped in xt seats, it sits lower, more headroom, legroom under 'wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I'm 6'4" and I fit fine. Leg room isn't great but I enjoy my Subes and have adapted to it. Just put him in it and go for a drive. If he isn't comfortable in it after a drive he probably won't ever be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I agree with the XT seat mod... I am about 6 feet tall and about 260 lbs. I can fit in the car either way, but I have room for a helmet for rallycross if I run the XT seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty2Austin Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I am 6'2 and I have an XT and GL, and I have fit in every subaru I have owned and then some.... just a matter of personal preference i guess.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 i'm 5'5" and i fit fine. just cut him off at the shins and nickname him stumpy. and make sure it's an automatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myxalplyx Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Are all you dudes giants walking around here? I'm 6'0 but jeez! :cool: I'd hate to see a ricer receive a Scooby beatdown by a group of you guys. :-p And to stay on topic, I fit in my Scoobies just fine.

subiemech85 Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I fit just fine, 5'-6", 120#, although I would like to raise the seat^! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electryc_monk Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 See, size *Does* matter and I too am 6'2" and a paultry(sp) 175 lbs. my old GL wagon I'd hit the ceiling in occasionally, but the GL-10's sunroof allows for me to feel a little more headroom :>) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 If you bend the knees or cut off the head he'll fit in the trunk just fine. That's what you meant, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Just to add some info I forgot to before. My son is 6'7"+ he drives an '87 GL 3dr. He has to have the wheel all the way up and the seat all the way back and reclined some but he fits OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I'm 6'2" and have no issues sitting in old subarus. Iv'e sat in a GL wagon, hatch back, XT6, and a brat. None of which made me feel uncomfortable or like I didnt have enough room. I dont hit my head on anything, i have plenty of width and space between me and the dash. I dont even hit my knees on the steering wheel! Which is more then I can say for first gen legacies. I always had to lift the wheel to get out of that thing. Never have to do it in my EA82 wagon.

rallyruss Posted February 13, 2004 Author Share Posted February 13, 2004 wow at 6ft 200lbs I thought I was close to the limit. you guys must magically shrink to fit into your cars. this is good news thanks all. about that XT seat swap. I take it they are lower? never sat in a XT myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorManzImpreza Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 6'5" here and fit.. but damn if my knee doesn't wanna pump into the steering wheel when I push/release the clutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pm128 Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I'm 6'5 and about 240#.. . iIn my gl-10 I could use a little more space for the knees, I drive with the wheel up all the way, and if the car did not have a sunroof I would be hurting...

roxtar Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 6'2" but scrawny as hell at 150 lbs. long rump roast legs like to hit my steering wheel from time to time but nothing major (92 loyale) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcfan Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 6'2 1/2" 300 LBS. I fit in my car okay, I actually move the seat forward as close as I can, I dont like to be too far away from the wheel for some reason. My youger brother is 6'5" 180 LBS and he fits with little problem, except the knee in the wheel thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 The XT seat has a height adjuster so the seat allows you to sit higher and further away from the pedals/wheel. Not a total solution but it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Gad what is board coming to. I hate to diss an admin, but aside from the height adj. the XT seat frame is much lower. Where is Trogdor?? I sit much lower (4"??) since I replaced the GL seat with a XT chair and I have the adj full up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaroonDuneDoom Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 6' 2 1/2" 180 i fit well in my gl wagon, but have been considering the xt seat swap for quite some time. i ned more room between my legs and the wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92LoyaleSW Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 6' 2.5", 240 lbs. Seat all the way back, wheel up a ways, no fitment problems. Fold down the back seats of the wagons and sleep corner to corner even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 5'11" but I fit into my gen 1 wagon pretty easily:D Oh and some of the RX seats have the height adjuster and so do the GL-10s.....but are the XT seats with the height adjusters still lower?
