I'm a similar size to you Joejoe , as everyone else has said you'll be fine . The car is certainly not designed for large people . I did put a piece of firm foam behind the lower part of the seat back to give me a bit more lower back support .

The designer of the current iteration of the car is just about your size. Gets in and out quite easily and has a comfortable drive. All of us larger, taller people hate him... He obviously designed the car for himself. Cheeky
What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.

I'm 5'8", with a 30" inseem, and it is very comfortable to drive. Surprisingly so.
I used to be 300 pounds (now twosixty-ish) and even then it was a good ride.
I moved the pedals one step towards me from the factory position. A fifteen minute job, no problem.
Go for it! *s*
M3W, now!!!

My pedals are as far forward as possible.

I am the same size within an inch but with only 29" inseam. I have no problems at all in the standard car. As others have said, you can adjust the pedal box.

You will be fine. I'm shorter than you and have the pedals on the 3rd rearmost setting (out of 4). The factory also made the base cushion thicker so that I can see the top of the nearside wheel. Was that a special order? Yes. They have to make the back rest shorter to compensate for the deeper base cushion.

Should be no problem.
But have the pedals moved back to the fullest extent/ pre drilled holes.

I'm 5'6" with a 29" inseam. I thought I would need the pedals moved to a short rider position but the dealer talked me out of it. I find that if I drive for any distance at all I want space to stretch out my left leg without resting it on the clutch. If you move the pedals closer to you then you have less space for that. I am glad I left the pedals in the center position.
