    Passenger sure. As driver, legs and torso proportions affect it. With the top off and not stowed in the car likely no problem. With top on or with top stowed behind seat you will get cramped.

    I’m not tall (5’ 10”) but I’m fat and I fit fine for a couple hours.

    Also, TS seats are made for svelte 160 lb Italian men. Spider seats are more fitting for Americans who are wide in the beam.

    I just bought a Berlinetta, I’m 6’2”. I fit for sure but I kinda have to slouch in the seat a bit and as a result I have no lower back support from the vertical part of the seat. Was expecting it to be like my Mondial T for some reason but it’s quite a bit smaller inside.

    6'3" 198.

    I have long legs so I fit fine. If i sit up straight I'm squashed against the roof. (TS).

    A 2" steering wheel spacer changed everything. Until then I was a no-go.

    Where did you get the spacer?
    I've always felt the steering wheel was too far away.

    It depends on the length of your torso vs legs vs arms.
    I am exactly the same height as my girlfriend, 5' 11", we are both slim, I have longer legs and shorter torso than her, and this actually works quite well in my 348TB, but she gets a better driving position than me because her arms are shorter, and torso longer, so she has the seat closer to the steering wheel which is a bonus in Italian cars of this era, whereas I have to be further away because of my longer legs, I'd ideally want the steering wheel a bit closer, but its pretty good as far as Italian driving positions go.
    We both find the seats very comfortable whereas I often see people complaining how bad they are....

    My son is 6’2” but thin I’m 5’7” and fat lol and in the f355 f1 I’m good the boy is ok but needs to sit as low as he can in the seat if top is on
    He has trouble in my Cali T even seating low in the seat his head rubs the roof

    Which is good for me because he doesn’t take them out much lol

    I think if either one was a manual he would be able to drive but would not be a good for long drives

    348 manual for a tall person I would probably look in to a TS or Spyder

    I'm 6'5" and fit great with the top down... I actually haven't tried the 348 with the top up though. Fit in the 360 spider well too

    I am 6’5” tall, I have the steering wheel spacer and fit ok. Just need to get the seat adjusted right. No chance of putting the roof behind though
