Prowlers are the greatest looking cars ever designed, and I want one, BADLY. But I don't know if I'd even fit. Anybody else as tall as me who drives one? I'm 6'6", average build. Help! |

John: There are owners your size out here in Prowler heaven. I'm 6' 4", 145 pds. with a large frame (49 xl sportcoat) and I fit in mine fine. Adjusting the seat all the way back and down helps. For me it's a little inconvenient getting in with the top up, but I rarely drive mine with it up. The tight fit is a very minor inconvenience for the tons of fun driving this rolling piece of art! There are a lot of Prowlers in TX, so hook up with an owner there and try one on for size. I drove one at a local dealer first to see if I'd fit. I did, I got hooked and now now I've got miles of smiles! ------------------ |

Hey, Thanks Randy! Well then, anybody in the North Dallas (Plano/Frisco) area willing to let me try a "fitting"? Thanks, P.S. Is the Texas Roundup already over? I see mention if it in the postings but havn't found a date yet... |

Roman - maybe Randy got stuck on his flamed lawn tractor and couldn't eat for a month! For a "Prowler fitting" maybe cnote or Tammy Fischer will see this and arrange to meet you. Chris lives in North Dalls and Tami just outside McKinney. One of my co sorkers is 6'5" - 255 pounds and he drove it with the top down. Never tried with top up. He said leg room length was Ok but with size 15 shoes it was a litle cramped side to side in the foot well for him. Marty |

Email cNote6 for a Texas owner in your area close by. It will be a close call on the fit. With a hardtop, you'd probably make it. I think "Living Life XXLarge" Bill in Canada was reported to be 6' 7",,,,but I'm not positive about that. ------------------

John, I am 6'4" and 265. I do not use the top and fit just fine. On long drives my right knee gets sore from the center console, but other than that I fit just fine. Guy |
