Thanks for everyone's help by the way! I've got my fingers crossed. If I do get one I definitely plan on getting the seat rails.

It's tight on the leg room. I'm 6'0 and my knees hit the radio door. Just get in one and see how you fit.

Congrats!

I'm only 6' and I fit fine. Someone suggested that instead of pinning the seat all the way back do this. Put the seat as far back as possible. Then move it one or two clicks forward and recline the seat back all the way. I found this to be much more comfortable for me.

Good luck with the new car. I'm sure you'll love it.

Bingo!

I am 6.0. I run the seat two clicks up from the back and the seat reclined as far as it will go. I fit well, but if I have the wrong shoes my right knee will hit the wheel when I heel toe.

I may have to lower the seat to pass the "broomstick test". Wish there was a cheap way to do that.

I am 6'5" (DMV says 6'6") 220 and bought one as a weekender a week ago. Drove it home on a 250 mile trip and fit fine. Sure it's tight, but comfortable. You'll be fine.

Dad drove it and is 6'4" 280 and fit fine and loved it.


Oh: and I wear a 35-36" jean length if that helps for proportion.

You were born not to drive a fast, small car. Please stick with bigger cars.

6'4" means, you basically don't even fit into some of the biggest sports cars.

Please stick with SUV. I would suggest, X5M, SQ5, or Cayenne (S or Turbo or GTS).

Thank you, come again.

Your best bet would be to go see one off craigslist/at a dealership and see how you fit yourself!
I clearly have the build of an average Japanese man because it feels like the car was custom tailored just for me.
