At 6'4" I'm spoiled by the Evo, everytime I hop in my roommate's Integra I bash my head getting in.

6'3" without my faux hawk, and i have a sunroof, and there's still gobs of space above me. its why i bought my lancer back in the day. lol, one salesperson tried to sell me a car (civic ex with sunroof) that my head rubbed and told me to just "not sit up so straight".

i do with the evo had a telescoping wheel though. my arms aren't so long as my legs.

i'm 6'3/185 and i dont drive w/ the seat even close to all the way back, i like to be able to punch the pedals and not stretch...guess i'm lazy. although, 6'3 w/ a size 10 foot makes for some very happy pedal work, i would be pissed if i had a size 13-14 and couldn't be nimble....not that fat feet can't be nimble....

Nice. I'm 6'6" 280. I've sat in one on the sales floor and it seemed to have just as much room as my Maxima, but i've never had time behind the wheel to see how long it would take to get crammped on a road trip.

When i told my wife i wanted to get one she looked at me and asked if i'd even fit. I brought her to the dealership with my fingers crossed, got in and said, "SEE! I fit!"

carbon8ted or pennektj can you comment on how the long haul ride is for you since i'm similar in body type/mass.

I live just outside of Washington D.C. and my folks live in Hilton Head, S.C. (620miles). I do the trip at least 2-3 times a year and never get uncomfortable. Of course I do it in 7-8 hours not 10-12 like my folks.
