Celica Forums General Discussion General The Celica is too small for my butt :(

Ok, I test drove a GT and a GTS the other day. I loved the ride for both, but I'm not trilled with the 6-speed, but that's not the problem.

My problem is the damn thing is TOO small for me, I usually sit pretty far back and in the Celica my legs were touching the steering wheel. So, I'm wondering if you guys have any ideas to at least make the driver's side a little roomier, or if you have any suggestions for sporty car (no honda!) around the same price range. I have been looking into the 2001 Impreza RS 2.5, but it's not what I'm looking for.

the celica has tons of room when driving...im like 6'2 and i dont even have my seat back as far as it goes...u must be a gaint

did you have the steering wheel in the top position?

the celica has a 'tilt' steering wheel function.

although it only tilts up down & extremely small increments...it should work enough to fit your legs comfortably

Also, the seat tilts up and down also. It would help if you lower it.

this is why I'm glad to be 5'7

werd...unless you're like 10 feet, you should be fine

I'm 6'3 and I could NEVER have a problem with leg room... it's the headroom thing that bugs the heck outa me. Either you are Shaq with an online alias or you just need to tilt the wheel a little.

Well, that's relieving!

I'm not that tall, 5'10", and I didn't know about the tilt wheel. It actually was quite comfortable once I got in, but yeah, my legs hit the wheel getting in.

Thanks again ya'll!

lol at least we helped someone

Im 6'2" at 185 lbs. I fit fine.

small people rule!

5'8"

i'm 5' 10'' too...and i'm comfortable in my celi

im 6'2 and i have the wheel tilt DOWN...and still no promblems...

First person in the history of the site!

An actual thread that wasn't just post whoring.

u must have fat legs or something

i had my steering wheel all the way down lol~ and im fat!! lol!

one of the advantages about being asian

I was about to say lol I'm 6'6" and I just fit in the Celica comfortably.

hahah...a middle finger emocon would be handy at this moment

u asian? hehe well just try out what the other people told you!

I am 6'3" No problems! Infact I have to much room!~

yeah me too

<--- I'm 6'2 and I can fit my fat a$$ in that thing.

5' 7" & it feels crowded in there.

The celica is small. And I am not a big or fat guy.
So if you are big (tall) you could have problems with the celica.

I'm 6'4", 205, and I have plenty of room in my celi...you just gotta play with the tilt on the wheel and the seat, I have a problem with the pedals some times tho, cause I wear a size 15 shoe

I'm 6'4" and 210 lbs. My only problem with is that I'm a lanky mo-fo, all legs. I just keep the seat slid back, steering wheel about 3/4 of the way tilted up and I have no problems. I was actually quite surprised how much leg room I have. I can stretch them all the way out.

^^ for real...that's what I do too, I was concerned before I actually drove it...and now I'm glad I bought a car that fits around me so well

Yea, if you're 5'10" you should be fine, then there's Stephen. Didn't seem so tall when he was sitting in the Celica, then the 6'5" giant stepped out

Just kidding Stephen...you looked tall when you were sitting

Im 5'11 and my long legs and big booty fit fine in my Celi

what's up now?

No doubt, I'm only 6' and I can vouche that the head room could be better.. then again I have a moonroof which lowers the height, because my moms '02 GTS without a moonroof is fine.

Everyone already said but yeah just adjust the steering wheel & lower the seat (there is a knob on the left.)
