You may be too tall to see comfortably out the windshield and the wind may rip through your scalp.

You're also heavy and may not fit in the seat comfortably. My friend with wide shoulders can't sit straight in my car and have his entire back touch the seat.
I'm 6'2" 185 and was pretty comfortable in it. But to the OP, I don't know I would say just sit in one and decide for yourself if it would work out or not...

Any Honda dealers in your town? Go to the dealer and sit in one. That should answer all of your questions.

Edit: If you're thinking of buying used, keep in mind that the '04s & up are supposed to have slightly more interior room than the earlier models.

If you're bigger than a size 40 suit, your shoulders won't fit in a bride vios III. I'm a 41 and my shoulders probably don't fit in the seat as well as they're supposed to.

Take a test drive!

I am fine in the car (6', 210, 44" suit) but it is not my DD either and I don't drive with the top up ever

I'm 5'9" and pushing 205 (not fat by any means ... just well built) and I find the car to be VERY comfortable. With a 35" waist it's a little tight going around the bends ... but by no means is it uncomfortable. In the shoulders it's tight though ... last measurement was 45" at the shoulders, I can't sit in the seat entirely proper so I just sit down in the seat a little more than most people. I think being any taller though it'd be a little rough getting in and out with the top down though. Hope it helps your decision.
