Was a nice video, they often have a nice selection of cars.
Unsure what he meant to as fitting in, as I have quite a few people sit in the MR2 and actually find it roomy. That car was a hard top so should of had the most amount of room!
Only thing I could possibly think is the Recaros that were fitted in that car - sit higher then standard seats.

Matt's a big boy! But I think Recaro seats/rails don't slot as far back into the cockpit as the OEM seats, giving the impression the legroom is less than it actually is.
Nicely done SW. Presume it's a 2GR. Mmm...

Spyders have more usable room inside the cockpit than the SW does. Period lol.
SW just happens to have a boot though...

Its not just a shorter persons car, i'm around 190cm or so and find there's a lot more room than in an xr6 falcon. I guess it depends on your torso to leg ratio. A mate of mine is the same height as me but he hits head in my SW, I can't get my legs into his little datto ute.
But another car build in this video using Koni yellows, I swear by mine.
