As someone who is 6'-5" tall, and 320 lbs in weight with size 15 extra wide shoes, I am curious as to the size driver that can fit into an M3W. I've read that the pedals can be located in different positions to suit different drivers, but what about the space for the driver's feet (height & width)? Also, I've heard there is an option for taller roll hoops as well, are there any other accommodations that can be made for larger drivers?

The only dealer in Florida where I live is over fifty miles away, and even if they were to have a M3W on display, at the price of these things over here in the States, I rather doubt they would want someone climbing in to try the vehicle on for size.

This is definitely a "try before you buy" situation.

I am 5'8'' and about 275 and fit just fine sideways. You might be too tall and I seriously doubt size 15 extra wides will work in the foot well.

I don't know, however, I am just guessing. I would not buy from someone who won't let me drive it or even sit in it.

Go do it! I'm afraid you will love it...

M3W, now!!!

I very much doubt the car is up to your impressive dimensions as of today!

Feet width is an issue for me , and I am a skiddly 5' 9" UK size 10 shoe. I have to wear a special narrow shoe to drive the M3W else my right foot snags on all sort of things down there.
I have had a few nasty experiences with normal shoes - as a future project I am looking to split the pedal frame and create some room between them. Should be straightforward I hope.

I am sure you could get custom pedal set-up for a very large footed or tall person from an aftermarket specialist. Albeit at a large cost.
Note the vehicle has adjustable pedals. but they may max-out at 6ft 1 or 2????

M3Wfan any dealer for any make that will not a prospective customer sit in a car does not deserve their business. You are potentially paying a lot of money so it should be try before you buy. Phone them up & ask. No doubt Aston & the like have to weed out gawkers & brochure collectors. I have a returnable deposit on a car I've not seen or driven & it most definitely wont be confirmed till I've driven one.
It does seem likely it wont fit you but you must try one.

My son is 6'5" tall and 15 stone, he dreamt of driving my mog but at the time it was a plus 8 and the insurers wouldn't cover anyone under 30, when I traded the car 18months ago for a plus 4 he was delighted, his sister has driven it, but when it came to it he couldn't fit in, too tall, and I assume this would be the same for a three wheeler. I drove one and even at only 6'1" 17 stones and size ten shoes found it very tight. Don't think you'll fit but good luck finding a car. Perhaps you could have the seat runners moved rear wards.

Robmog M3W seats are fixed there is no possible adjustment other than to raise the cushion front edge with a batton. The pedals are adjustable with a spanner, nor a 5 min job & many fit a steering wheel spacer.

I struggled to drive the car with the standard 14" steering wheel so I junked it and bought a momo 11" wheel which has a flat bottom and is only about 9.5" top to bottom, this allows you to drive with your knees slightly more bent and provides loads of legroom. Having done around 700 miles in one sitting I can vouch for its comfort. Good luck I hope it works out for you - more fun you cannot have!

+1 on you will need a steering wheel spacer and possibly smaller wheel.

The big showstopper could be the narrow pedals.

The only way to find out is to sit in one wearing the narrowest shoes you can.

Good luck
