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 :D

I'm pretty much the same size. Fitting in wasn't a problem, the getting out was though!! :freak3: :freak3: :freak3:

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

I'm sure I've seen Clarkson driving one on TG, he must be at least 6ft3?

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. :D Had one for a while and loved every minute of it. :thumb:
