Anyone ever have issues fitting in your seats?

I sat in an Evo X today and I fit but pretty snugly. My back pressed right into the side bolsters which I like but I'm 5'10 and a pretty lean 180 lb's. I'm sure my wife fits in them with room to spare but most of my friends are bigger than me. My brother and the two friends who ride with me the most are 6', 6' and 6'6 so I was wondering if they would even be able to fit in the seats

Wil everyone be in the car at the same time? That could get pretty darn tight.

6 6" is really tall for most cars. I'm 6 1" and fit in the backseat but I wouldn't want to be there for a long time

I am 6'1" 183-190lbs, and I fit perfectly into the driver seat. I have a friend who is 6'5" 170lbs, and he fits fine in the passenger and rear seats. However, another friend, who is 5'8" 200lbs and has a big booty, had troubles fitting in the passenger seat. The lower seat boasters were too tight, but he has no problems fitting in the rear seats.

Yeah they seem to fit me perfectly, snug but once squeezed in I know I'm not going anywhere.

When an overweight friend of mine sat in the passenger seat it gave him some trouble. He actually got stuck and had to really work to get out. I know I shouldn't laugh but it was pretty hysterical to watch him and then finally help him out. I only see him a couple times a year though so he won't have to worry about sitting in it often. On our way back he sat in the backseat lol

The only time its an issue for me is when someone has a big butt or just really wide hips rides along. Otherwise it's never an issue for people in my car.

I'm slightly over weight at 6'0'' and 215 and I fit just fine. They do loosen up a little bit over time though. I had to drive one from Green Bay back to my dealership here in MN once. I immediately got back in to my car after dropping it off, and I did notice a difference and that my seats had in fact expanded a little over time.

same here. I'm 6'3" 225 and if I'd be any bigger I'd have problems lol. with my carhartt or my snowboarding jacket I'm pretty pressed in there but not to the point i'm uncomfortable.

Like Trogdor said they loosen up. I can tell a dramatic difference between sitting in my driver seat and then my passenger seat.

Yeah I'm 6'0 244 and it is snug. I plan on getting new seats though. I'm going to sell them to my father to put in his wrx. The back side bolsters seriously stop me from really being in the seat.
