have far do you actually sit back in the seat?? i'm 6 feet and 0.50 inches tall. so you are at most, 3 inches taller than me. i weigh 165 pounds as well

i sit pretty close to the steering wheel. even at the farest setting of the seat scooted all the way back its too far away from me.
I have a 99 celica GT. So the celica should be able to accomodate your legs which are 3.5 inches taller than mine.

the rule of thumb is your wrists should be able to sit directly at 12 o clock. that way you can maneuever you car as quickly as possible in case something fly's in front of you.

i work as a valet at a dealership and i always see people sitting back way farrther than they should be and they are almost always shorter than me. of course that is unless your large.
