Standard Haynes Roadster.
Seat width 445mm

I would have to do some serious slimming just to reach fat Bstd...
I find it ok........Snug I think is the word..
Plenty of leg room though.

The Viento is generous in size...

Check out the picture at the end of this link.

'wilkingj' has one of those - made my book car look tiny - but as he's 'generous' in proportion it suits him just fine!

I have standard MX-5 car seats(old versions) in My Viento 50cm wide and very comfy.

The amount of space compared to smaller sevens is amazing.

I'm not sure about the size of the car but I vary between 15 - 17 stones depending on the time of year and I fit in the MK plastic seats although they are a bit tight under the arms so I tend to sit forward from the top of the back rest a little bit.
