Default Elise, maximum driver height ?

Theres a lad at work who has an Elise, I am just over 6ft tall and he must be 6ft 5, I have not asked as I dont know him that well but how does he get in and out, I always thought 6ft was about your lot for driving an Elise ?

I had a vx220, so basically the same car interior size wise and fit in it reasonably. I'm 6'3 but i wouldn't fancy one if i was much taller

I used to go to a few Lotus trackdays and it'd surprise you the size of people that can get in both tall and wide.
Being both tall AND wide, I can only get in the passenger seat with the roof off

I'm pretty much the same size. Fitting in wasn't a problem, the getting out was though!!

Getting in is OK, it's just getting out again. I didn't have a chance to practice, but I basically had to crawl out on my hands and knees. Felt like a right prat

There is an art to getting in and out, once you have got the hang of it, it's fine. I am 6'4 and quite wide. Had one for a while and loved every minute of it.
