I was wondering if somebody could tell me what Cerberas are like inside for blokes that have seen one too many pies for their own good.

You see, err.. my friend would like one but he's quite a big chap.. 6ft3 and quite heavy. More importantly he's got size 12 feet.

He once sat in a Chimera and found the pedals a bit too close together... perfect for toe and toeing. Is the Cerbie any better (ie bigger) in this respect?

I am 6'3" and also have size twelves, Its surprisingly roomey inside a Cerb, I even had to move the seat away from the very back of its travel, something I have never ever done in any other car.
The pedals are adjustable too.
Peter Wheeler is a tall bloke, so thank him for the size inside Tiv's

I can vouch for the fact that there is plenty of room inside, I'm 6'6" 21 stone and size 14/15 feet. Only problem I have is seeing traffic lights change when close to the lights.

I think if you're long in the leg it's OK, but if you're long in the body, watch out. I'm 6'4", but haven't yet found a Cerbera in which I fit. The rear anti-roll hoop gets in the way of my head.

Yeah, I am 6'4". Even more fun on a track day with your helmet on! - The whole day is spent with your head perched to one side. - wouldnt swap it though........

I am 6ft 10in and weigh a mighty 21stone. So you should have no problems with the Cerbera, althought I find a passenger is essential for Track Days.

It's all to do with affective weight distrbution don't you know !!

The pedals are little awkward at first; you just need to be conscious where you stick your 'plates' for the first week or so.

In case the obvious has been overlooked - you can rip off the cushion [attached using velcros] on the front seats of the Cerbera so that the driver / passenger actually sit a couple of inches lower.
