Just sold my 07 STI, and i am about to buy an EVO X, as of right now i am so busy i havent a chance to go to the dealerships (mitsu dealer is really far from my house). Does the EVO X have a lot of leg room? being 6ft 6, i do not want to waste the time driving to the dealership and not even being able to fit in the car. Any tall guys have any issues with leg room in the EVO X? Will i have enough leg room?

 

You may be OK. I am six two and a half and have plenty of headroom and have the seat two stops from all the way back. Try one on for size!

 

I'm 6'4" with a 36" inseam. You'll have plenty of leg room, but the only thing that sucks is if you like to put it all the way back, it's hard to reach the steering wheel unless you put your seat more vertical. I'm still astonished that these didn't come with telescoping steering wheel. It's like not having power locks - it just doesn't happen anymore. Christ, my 4runner has telescoping steering wheel adjustment.

PS - It's not short arms either, I have a 76" wingspan.

 

you should be fine, my brother is 6'5 and has not issues and he has to put a car seat behind his seat

 

Yep. As these guys said you will be ok. Im 6'2" and the seat isnt close to being all the way back. If it is I cant touch the pedals.

 

haha... im only 6 1 but i find it hard to heel toe ... looking for a way to lower the seat a little... anyone know about these?

Like everyone else has said, you should be good. I'm 6'6 and I fit great.

 

If you can fit into 07 STI, you should have no issue in an X.
The X is quite a bit more spacious that the subaru.

 

i'm 6'10 and I fit, the only problem for me was the side bolsters......i wish i had the money to buy it .....i ended up with a gti.....still trying to get my first evo....i suck

 

dang, i'm only 5'7

 

it's ok beetle, im only 5'8 (and a half!). and i'm apparently in the minority as i think the steering wheel is a perfect distance away. i did let my friend who is 6'5 drive it and he has ridiculously long legs and he didn't even have the seat all the way back. in fact he only put it two clicks back from where i had it!

 

im 6 foot 5 and the tall evo design makes me look like i drive the car. only problem is the fact that the steering wheel touches my lap sometimes (no heel toe).

head room is awesome, i dont even sit all the way back....

 

If you have long legs and a short torso the Evo X is not as comfortable as the Evo 8/9. Because the steering doesn’t telescope you have to put the seat close enough to reach the steering, but then your knees are up in the air. Because this position also splays you legs, the side bolsters push hard against your thighs. Another bad thing about the X is the windscreen pillar blocks your view to the left front. When you turn left you have to be careful to judge the distance to the curb because you can’t see it.

 

thanks i appreciate the comments, makes me even more excited the fact i can fit and be comfortable, hopefully i can make it down to the dealership this week

 

jeez 6'10 omg gimme a couple inches will ya? im only 5'10 =\
