Foot size is a major issue. The pedals are close together and the footbox is small. Racing shoes would not be an affectation, and for big feet might not be enough.

Re: height requirement

thats pretty bad news because my feet are relatively big. ive also considered an e46 m3. i like to imagine myself in one of these cars within 1-2 years from now, theyre in the same price range. what would you guys rather have?

Re: height requirement

im 6'2, wear size 11.5-12

Getting in was an adventure, once i was in, i was fairly comfortable. Its a little tighter fit than early miatas, and the pedals defintaly took some getting used to. Just try one out and see how it goes!
