Manual gearbox - OK for lanky people?

Thanks Jason - I am actually an Essex boy but defected down to Somerset 8 years ago, so now miles away sadly

It’s not a bad move is it

It's bloody marvellous. Although the grass is on steroids!

it's very sad tbh....

And I wonder why all my daughter's 17 year old friends have 'mental health issues' (including her TBH). No-one is allowed to just have a laugh at life anymore and that will bring you down pretty quickly!

Looks like we're safe on here though chaps, thank the Lord...bloke at work (nicest guy you could meet too, would do anything for anyone) had strips torn off him by a woman for referring to his grown up daughter as 'girls' - I mean, mental - they are! He's ex-SF too, so even if you were a an ultra-PC, he deserves a bit of leeway. Oh well...

I am 6'3 and have plenty of leg and headroom. I dont have the seat all the way back, almost but not quite.

im 6'1" my 23i was a manual, no problems at all. Apart from the box being notchy into 2nd gear (normal) and whining a lot....

My car is a 2.3 manual
I am 192cm and managed to find a comfortable seating position. Have been doing 1000km daily trips regularly

I'm 5 10 with 32 inch leg, the main problem is the tilt back. My seat is about and inch from touching the rear deck. (If it touches becomes a source of tapping noise).
The seat at the bottom is about 5 inches from the rear, a cover and extinguishers resides there.

Thanks again all, appreciated. I've taken the leap and it should be arriving tomorrow so hopefully all good...
