[Poirot]

Casting Call - Commercial $$$

I was at the DC auto show last night and just had to plop down in the WRX they had on display. The seats were very comfy but, there is always a but, my knees were hitting the steering column with the seat fully back. Being 6'3" in this case is a definite disadvantage. Are there any rumors or speculation that there may be more front leg room in the STi/new new-age WRX? This is my only REAL concern. I would hate to get the STi, and then have to spring for some expensive Recaro seats with the titanium w/gold inlay rails. An extra 2 inches up front would be nice (yeah....yeah...I can see the humor there, leave it alone!!! :lol: ). There will be NO back seat passengers, so their comfort is of no concern. At worst, I would have to settle for a G35 sedan or a used A6. Conjecture?

I am 6'3" as well and found there to be a lot of room in the current WRX. I have a 96 imprezza now and the WRX is MUCH better than that. THe headroom was an improvement as well.


...try sitting in the Baja...that is VERY cramped!

One more week!

Try moving the "up/down" seat adjustment to full down (in addition to the "fore/aft" adjustment).

I'm 6'4 and have had no problem in either the WRX or STi in Europe. Very comfortable. In fact I found that there was more room than the BMW 3 series!
