I am looking at purchasing an Esprit v8, but have not sat in one. I have plenty of room in my wife's M100
Elan. I am 6'2", 215 pounds, and 34" inseam. Can anyone tell me if I will be comfortable, or should I just quit lusting after an impossible dream? Thanks

Bradley, I'm 6'3 and had real trouble sitting in a V8 recently, both height-wise and legroom-wise (could hardly get them under the steering wheel!). It has always been my dream to get an Esprit, but I can see that dream fading now...

Bradley,

I am 6' 1", 215 pounds, 36ish waist. I drive a 93 SE. The V8s are supposedly better than the old four bangers ergonomically. I fit fine in my Esprit. In fact, I think it is extremely comfortable. I drove it back from New Jersey (roughly 3 and a half hours) and was just as comfy at the end of the ride as the start.

I think you'll be fine in a V8. Why are you still reading this? Go and get one!!!

Mike

Bradley,

I am 6'3" and about 230 lb and fit like a glove in my 90 Esprit - just cant have any big hair days thats all. The car is really very comfortable. I have been in a lambo, ferrari, Pantera etc and the lotus fits the best. I had the same concerns until I sat in one, then I bought it and have been a happy man, just got to stop the k-Mart chicks checking me out. Whats stopping you now !!!!
