ANy big boys like me drive a coupe everyday
Not quite as big
I'm not quite as big as you but pretty close 6'1" and 220 and I drive my coupe every day.
It took a long time to get used to the seat though. The seat controls dig in on one side and my left thigh would go numb on long trips.
I fiddled with the seat alot and I think it has broken in a bit so things are a lot better.
The seats still seem to have been designed for 165 lb 5'6" Japanese drivers though.
I do have plenty of head room in front, but the back is a bit cramped. But who rides in the back of their own car?

I was a little 'bigger', but now 6', 190lbs. and find my Coupe quite comfy.
I would have preferred the seat controls on the side of the seat, but I'm used to that now and don't notice it anymore.

Hey man I am 6'3 260. I have to tell you that even though I love my coupe, the driver's seat sucks. It is wonderful for smaller assed guys, but when you have some girth you will find that your *** bridges the side supports, your right thigh will be in pain from the immovable driver seat adjustments, and that your back (if broad like mine) will bridge the lateral supports. The only thing I can suggest for that is to increase the lumbar support. Consider changing the driver seat as well.

At 5'11 and 150-160 lbs.
(depending on marathon readiness) it's an awesome fit for me.
I don't know how you big guys fit in them.
In the seatback area even my back and shoulders are wedged in snugly.
The seat controls on the right are slightly annoying but I have pretty much gotten used to them.

I'm also 5'11", 175 lbs. The seat is the most comfortable seat in a car that I've ever
owned. I used to get backaches and my right azz cheek would go numb on long drives
with my previous car, but not with the G! The side bolsters fit just right and keep me
in the seat during aggressive driving. I have the lumbar support cranked all the way
up, and it takes away my backpain from the office chair.
Some of my stockier friends who have sat in the passenger seat have complained
that the side bolsters dig into their ribcage though. But just keep in mind, this is
a Japanese car designed with sport in mind. This is how the seats are supposed to
be.
