Tigz™ Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 We had a 6 foot 7 inch Lupo member!Loads of head and leg room at 6 foot two and a half for me, even with the seat not fully back.Rear space is poor though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny70 Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 im 6"1 and i have no problem whatsoever my head is nowhere near the roof even with the chair at maximum height, and there is plenty of legroom. The only time it gets a bit cramped is when you have people in the back but its still no biggy ive been to 250 miles with a full car and no complaints/moans lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_225 Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I'm 6'1" and not exactly skinny and there's plenty of room mate. I had a good few inches above my head. Where as in my Clio my head touches the roof if i'm not careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 At a meet ages ago a 6'7" bloke sat in mine, he was impressed and said there was more room than in his mk2 Golf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sciroccotune Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 At a meet ages ago a 6'7" bloke sat in mine, he was impressed and said there was more room than in his mk2 Golf.Im 6'6" and dont have any problems with head room, knee room could be better but its better than most cars and on par with something like a golf.

dougless Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 I am not sure I agree with the ‘more space than a mk2 Golf’ comment but generally light, airy and not too cramped with one exception. At 6 foot with longish legs and size 9-9.5 shoes, my knees are close to the steering wheel and the room around the pedals is ‘cosy’. It would definitely cause you problems if you had largish feet with those rather silly long nosed shoes that are just becoming unfashionable. Having said this, Lupo’s are comfortable and we will be taking mine to central Europe in the summer so it can’t be that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spy Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) Resurrecting this thread from the depths of the forum. A fair few people here commenting on the head room in the Lupo but do you not find that your knees are almost touching the steering wheel with your arms resting on your knees ? Surely this can't be safe in an accident as the dash and steering wheel will crush your knees ? Edited December 28, 2016 by spy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Just adjust the seat accordingly, or fit a smaller wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
