#22437, "legroom in 95 eclipse/talon"


          

I am looking to buy a 95 eclipse/talon as soon as I sell my current car (in the sale/wanted section). I was looking at a 95 talon the other day and when I got in, my knee would hit the steering wheel when I'd lift my foot off of the pedal (I'm just about 6 ft). I fiddled with all the seat adjustments and the steering wheel height but couldn't seem to fit rght. My quetion is if there's any difference in the eclipes interior as opposed to the talon's. If I don't fit in one will I not fit in the other? Are there any other possible adjustments I can make? This would be incredibly heatbreaking.

you could do the seat lowering mod. found in the main page ( www.2gnt.com). That should help out.

Well, I'm over 6'4", so if I fit you certainly can. You will probably have to get used to having your legs splayed out though. Actually, I like this as I'm already wedged in for aggressive driving...

Hey you should not have a problem... I am Big... hell, who am I kidding... I am Fat and big 6'1" bout 1/4 ton... But sexy as a Bitch!

I am a Sexy Bitch!

I have my poor Ground-Controls set up to balance the car since all my girth is on one side. emoji

If I can get my big ass in the car.. you should not have a issue. Like dude said you will have open your legs a bit due to the planet size steering wheel. My God our cars have big steering wheels..

With all that wheel one would think we could make a U-Turn like normal car... Instead we have to attend truckers school to learn to U-Turn the Eclipse! emoji

Good Luck and enjoy the car if you get it!
