How tall/broad are all you clio owners?

[karlos100]

Two people have told me im too big for my 182. im 6ft1 and have broad shoulders and long legs.When driving my car im pretty comfortable but last night the wife drove home because i had a few sherberts .i sat in the passenger seat i was even worse with my head nearly touching the roof.Anyone else as big as me own a clio? lol

 

[Fletcher]

One of my mates has a mk1 172, and he's 6'7ft... skinny as a rake though.

 

[VIICarCare]

im 5ft 3,however my bf is 6ft 4 and he has no trouble driving my 182.

 

[Pettsi]

I'm 6ft with broad shoulders and don't seem to have a problem!

 

[Matt X2C]

Clarkson gets in a clio fine and he is 6'5/6'6!

there is loads of space in the front, its the rear thats tight when big people are in the front!

 

[john182rs]

I got the same problem, im 6'4" an putting on weight fast, wide shoulders also. But i sit in the drivers seat mainly, an i find the passenger seat too high.

 

[Cupster]

Im 9" x 3" and she fits like a glove lol

Oops, wrong forum! :quiet:

 

[john.med]

driver's seat is ok, but yeah, the passenger seat is too high. I'm 6'4". Just recline the seatback and enjoy the ride.

 

[DynamoDave]

I'm 6' 4" and fit in my 182 no bother - no chance of anyone sitting behind me comfortably though!!

Having said that...would struggle to find many 'small' cars that can actually fit 4/5 full size adults comfortably imo.

 

[Se7en172]

I'm 6'2" and just short of 16stone, I am a rugby player so am pretty large.
I used to fit into my 172 ok, but had to have the seat right back. But in my 197 reccaro'd cup I fit into it perfectly, I have the seat about half way, loads of head room shifting space ect, easier to Screw ect.

 

[Rich]

6' 2" and hate it but that is down to the crap driving position and seat height and not my height.

 

[® Andy]

A smidge over 6ft for me, and so my seat is all the way back, but the engine behind me doesn't complain . I actually find the driving position very comfortable, though the Vee has the advantage of the gearstick being raised compared with my old 172.

 

[FlameR]

5'11'' and weigh about 12.6 stonne. so fit in a 172 nicely seats are still pisch though. They should have put the trendlines in all 1*2s.

 

[Nigel]

5'-11" and 12 stone. Fit in the clio perfectly. Don't mind the std. seats but a pair of trendlines would be nice.

 

[Turkish]

I'd agree with that, I'm 6ft3 and pretty broad and I fit in but I've had to adapt my seating position to get almost comfortable. When I had my buckets fitted with custom low subframes the position was perfect. Mate of mine is built like the honey monster and he fits in, havn't trusted him to drive it though.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Im a 6'4"er my self

 

[Timmay]

im 5ft 8in - i fit perfectly in my car lol

 

[Mells]

6.2 and average. The 5 door 1.2 used to be fine for anyone to sit behind me, but the 172 I have the seat all the way back.

got height there

 

[DebV6]

I'm only 5.3 and tiny.

 

[rory182]

I'm 6ft 3 and the driving position sucked.

Passenger seat isn't height adjustable hence you noticed it.

 

[Naith]

6'3, decent build, fastest ass in the west.... no probs sitting in the meg

found the 172/182 a little snug in comparison tho

 

[Goders172]

6' 2" quite well built. No probs in the drivers seat (once i got usedto it) but the passanger seat is too high and the back is a nightmare.

 

[Hayley]

5ft & petite.

The only 'issue' i have in te Mk1 is that I have to have the seat pulled up as high as it will go or I cant see behind me because shes low
Bugs me when peple move the seat

I'm only just nearly 5ft so the Clio suits me fine but my bf is 6'4.5" and he looks really cramped in the passenger seat!

Jesus he must throw you about the bedroom

 

[Linsen]

175cm (5'9''?) and absolutely no idea how many "stones"...

Fit in well, but the driving position could be better. If I get as close to the wheel as I like, my legs are bent too much, imho. And the seat could very well go a little lower.

 

[pinky]

5' 6" think I was especially made for my car

 

[Chili Red]

I'm 5'7 and average, so any car is fine for me! Other half is 6'6" and he's ok in the passenger seat.

 

[TheJesus]

6'2 and only about 160lbs (f**k knows in stone :S) 12?

No problems in the Clio, just put the seat on super low mode and it's reet. Housemate sometimes uses my car and he's just over 5ft (pmsl), so it always makes me laugh seeing how close and high the seat is.

 

[nathanH]

Im 5.8" and about 10stone, im small, well thats what all the girls say...

 

[alistair®]

I'm 6'5 and have just bought my 182! Beginning to get a bit worried...

100lbs is about 7 stone.. so about 14 stone maybe?

I keep thinking about an episode of the simpsons where nelson points and laughs at a massive guy cramped into a tiny car. cant find it on youtube tho

 

[Dave-Clio]

im 185lbs - which is 13.5 stone ish

bit too tall for the little clio probably at 6ft 3 but ill squeeze in its worth it lol

 

[Grandpa Munster]

I'm 6 feet tall and 6 feet wide.

I seem to manage ok, had to stretch the interior to fit though, lol.

 

[Sarah]

5'7 and fits me perfectly

 

[marko182]

I'm 6'7 and I weigh 16 and a half stone. I drive it fine! Recline the seat and away you go. Only modern car I know I can't drive is the mk1 MX5.
