Default Help please tall drivers.

Could someone make a video that's 6 foot five or taller in your C7. So we can have a visual for those of us for whatever reason can't test fit a car. I've already ordered mine but all this talk about fitting is driving me crazy. I'm currently stationed in the Middle East so I can't test fit one. I'm using C6 specs. Positive help is greatly appreciated.

I am 6'4" and i fit just fine. I had a C6 before and the distance is about the same from the seat to the gas or brake pedal. The biggest change is dash is deeper and console is wider so depending on your length of your body will make the car fell more tight. I would not worry unless your bought a standard shift then you mazy have an issue. Hope every things works out you. Thank for serving our country.

I too am 6'4" w/36 inch inseam and can drive the car easly. But I do have an A6, I doubt I would have enough knee and leg room to use an M7 comfortably. I have plenty of head room, 2-3 inches, and about the same knee/leg room front to back as my C6, although in a norrower space side to side. My only problem is the seat back doesn't recline as much as I like because the airbag system, behind the seat, restricts the recline when the seat is all the way back.

You will probably fit, but it will be very tight.
