The speed 3 is tight for anything bigger than a teen boy.

I'm 5'10", ~190 and it's not that tight for me.
Granted, there are a good few teenage boys bigger than me.

Five foot, ten 225 and it was cutting off the circulation in my legs and squeezing my ribs uncomfortably and the console felt as if it was pushing me out the door...even the wife, the car was for her, was not comfortable, at all.

Adjust the seat

Seriously though, some reviewers did say it wasn't all that comfortable, but I've yet to have a problem with it.
My only sort-of issue is simply one of technique... relearning the art of the smooth launch and seamless upshift.


(oh, and sorry Gas.. didn't mean to make it all about me )

It launched wonderfully, smooth shifts and cornered like a kart, just a tight cabin to us.
