Omggg guys y'all are crazy!!! But seriously.. I would rather do it in a truck...than all cooped up in my koup... LOL. JK JK.

But joking aside, the seats have a adjustment for height... so I doubt it would be a problem. Once you work the seat in, it'll be just right.

LOL well thanks for the welcomes guys... I'm glad you get to have fun in your cars. I'm sure if I get one, I will be doing that as well... Ya have to! Got to break it in somehow right?

I'm mostly legs. I have a big torso, but not that big.I don't want my head hanging out of the sunroof though, lol. I guess all I really can do is go test drive one and see if I can fit in it. Hopefully I can, because I do really like the car. I appreciate the help you guys did give me before you went off topic lol.

Haha thanks guys. Maybe I'll go drive one tomorrow if my network upgrade goes smoothly tonight (Doubt it)

Also, I don't know if this is cause I'm still a "newbie" or a setting I don't have set. But I'm not getting emails when people reply to this? If someone could help me with that, I'd appreciate it!

Oh and 1 more question... Wheres the clutch grab on the SX? Just curious. I know every clutch is different, But i figured they would all be the same on the same car lol.

Yeah, you WOULD ask about the clutch, wouldn't you?

It seems to grab fairly close to the top, within the last 1 1/2" of travel. I find it kind of abrupt, to be honest, but it's really the only complaint I have.

Yes! I would ask about the clutch! I guess it doesn't really matter, because I put the clutch to the floor everytime I shift. Having a size 14 shoe, pushing it to the floor everytime just makes it easier. But my buddies mustang the clutch grabbed right at the top, and my knee bashed the steering wheel everytime I shifted.

All of these questions,, and more will be answered when you test drive the car lol... See questions about whether your knee will hit the steering wheel is not a purely car related question lol.. I mean.. I'm not that tall, I wouldn't be able to even guesstimate whether your knee would hit the wheel or not.. To me its comfy, unless your going over potholes then it gets annoying.

Take the plunge, take the test drive, fiddle around with it, move your seat back.. move down your seat all the way, and see how it goes, if you feel comfortable in the car, great! if you think the headroom is a bit low or if your knee hits the wheel everytime you shift, then either compromise get a non sunroof or tilt your wheel up or if you purely think that the car is not drivable then don't get it.

I know its hard being comfortable being that tall in a small coupe. But think if you were to get a lotus? or a ford gt40? How would you even fit in there?..

Hope you understood, Im not discouraging you to ask questions, sure you can ask them :).

Theres no such thing as a stupid question.

Thanks.. I plan on it. I fit in a 350Z just fine. Fit in vettes, but obviously that's not a forte lol. Hopefully I can fit and everything works out. Maybe I'll be going home with it tomorrow! That would be awesome lol. I've never bought a brand new car before. Thanks for all the info guys. I appreciate it.

Well, I went and test drove one. BUT it was a Koup EX auto :( they had no SX's in stock. But i can fit perfectly fine with the sunroof. Which makes me happy. It sucks there are no SX koup 6 speeds around here. Hopefully soon I'll be picking one up!!

Good to hear that you fit in it :). Ask the dealership if they are able to get you an SX 6 Speed. If not then ask them if they have any other kia dealerships around your area, or even 200+Kms away, and if they can bring it to you. Hehe, just as I suspected, stock now is very low for the 2010s, so you might find yourself a good deal on those. I'm sure the dealership if they find a SX will charge a "finder's fee" sort of, for it to be shipped to you if it isnt at their lot. You might want to also look into the possibility of an SX Auto (its not as bad as you think, plus you have a 5 SP Triptonic).

I told him to let me know as soon as 1 comes in, or at any other dealer around. And he kept telling me about the auto like I drove, and if I'm buying a car and paying on it for a decent amount of time, I want the 6 speed. Just the way I am. I've only ever driven manuals so that's what I like. Hopefully one comes in soon and I can get it.
