I am 6'5" 315 lbs with 15 EEEE shoes... I have an mn6 Vert - It is fine, the head room is minimal with the top up, and I have to wear tennis shoes for driving so my feet do not get caught on the pedals.... WOuld not trade it for anything...

Sometimes people laugh and point as I get in and out, but it is the most comfortable and fun car I have ever driven.

This is a good point! The method of getting in and out of the vehicle is important. I’ve used this very method and it has saved on seat wear and back stress. The only difference, when exiting, instead of placing my hand on the seat I use the bottom door jam. Enjoy!

I'm 6', 230 and the car fits just fine. I still have considerable maneuvering room for the seat to go back. You may have to play with the seat controls a bit to get it to where you feel comfortable.
