Actually, I'm surprised how tall some owners are

Muz is tall enough to have trialled in the NBA and he has no problems!!

Unicron - you're a lucky bastard! Wish I was 3" shorter what I was driving my S2K!!!

I am in between 6ft and 6ft 1" and I fit in the car ok. I would love it if I could have 2-3 more inches of rearward seat travel, but be able to bring the steering column (and the steering wheel) about 4" back toward me. I find myself just a little bit cramped in the legs, but I am used to it.

The biggest problem I DID find with my height, is the lack of underthigh support. I had to add 6 grade 8 galvanized washers in between the (front) seat runner and the body on each side, to raise the front of the seat somewhat. It really helps!!

Cheers,

Everytime I wish I were taller (I'm 5'9 and the car fits me perfectly), I think about how I'd fit in the car. I like how it fits me just right.

I'm 5'-11" with a long trunk and short legs. This makes it very hard to see stoplights because of the windshield frame.

Actually I notice 50% of respondents are 6-6 1/2 foot. I have always had good room in Hondas even more so than most sedans .. Holdens, Fords, BMWs, Lexus etc.

Although I must admit the Prelude is one tight car for headroom that I could never own.
