6'2" and 180lb and I fit behind the wheel just fine. In fact I find the
spitfire one of the most comfortable cars to drive. I prefer the
reclined driving position to the more upright position that other cars
put you in. Over long distances my knees begin to ache, but this is much
worse when driving an 'upright seat' car.
