Glen, I am 6'2" 34" waist and the seats are snug, but just right, have to drop in from the top and exit from the top by stepping on the seat, no sliding in. A removable steering wheel would make a big difference in ease of entry/exit. Seats are comfortable, could use a little more back cushion if anything. So far have driven an hour straight, no problem. Ideally, I would like to sit even lower, my eyeballs are at the upper third of the windscreen. However, I do have it raked back further than stock. I tried sitting without the seat cushion in place, driving position was perfect, but comfort was unbearable. Need to remove those pesky disks that patrickt mentioned.
