    I am curious how the 355 fit is for drivers my size.. 6'1 200#?

    I just fit into my lotus esprit and would like to consider a 355 spider, but I hear they are not a good fit for taller drivers. Where I live, there is no dealer and seeing a ferrari on the road is a very rare site, so of course I have no opportunity to try one out. thx J

    Now problem what so ever for you to fit. I my self am 6 ft and 266lbs (check out my profile pic) and i fit the car very very easly. In fact i think Gordon on here i even taller than me as are other guys, no problem.

    It's cavernous compared to an Esprit. I sat in a Lotus and my head was hitting the ceiling. I'm 6'00'.

    Plenty of headroom in the 355; even with a helmet on!

    I'm screwed because I am 6'4" and about 290....

    The only Ferrari I can fit in is the F1 hauler.

    I am 6'4 1/2 and 280 lbs, and I do fit in the 355 spider. It is a bit tight, but it works fine. It is not as roomy as a 360 but I manage. so yes, it can be done!
