how do you tall guys drive cars??

[BurnItDwn]

I'm 6 feet 2 inches, and my car I like to sit pretty far back, but I could move the seat back another 2 or 3 inches if I wanted. I have a big car though, 300M, and wouldn't ever want a little one.

It's a bit of a squeeze in my Beetle, but I manage. No problems in my Chrysler. Both of my Prizms were pretty uncomfortable for longer trips.

6'2" -- I generally drive with the seat all the way back (so my knees aren't bent at right angles) and the seatback reclined a couple of clicks (for more headroom).

It is a huge pain in the butt and a major criteria when I'm purchasing a car/truck.

You better hope the "bimmer" nazis don't see that.

I'm 6'6"

I like big cars. I have a hard time getting in and out of a 2001 focus, the pedals are so close together and there is no room around them, I have a hard time getting one at a time when I'm wearing my boots.

I fit fine into the taurus/sable line of vehicles.

I hate the backseat of anything but a towncar (or maybe a Merc 300 or a Maybach, but I haven't ridden in one of those).

Sometimes being average height works out well for me.

I guess I'm lucky to be short. I'm only about 5'8" and I've fit fine in every car I've ever driven or ridden in. My wifes Neon is a little cramped without moving the seat back, but it's probably the smallest car I've ever been in.

Don't drive your car like a gangsta and you'll fit fine.

i'm 6 3. IT SUCKS.

I'm not really tall, but I like being really comfortable behind the wheel. I find you can pick up a LOT of legroom by tilting the seat more. Not the seat back, the seat! Same principle as a bench seat in a truck. Lift the seat front high, and lower the rear of the seat down, like an adirondack chair. Try it, you'll like it!

So coming from someone that has suffered with being 6'6" throughout my driving years (coming up on a decade this year), with the seat pushed all the way back in a car my knees would always come up near the middle of the steering wheel, so I picked up the habit of driving with my legs.

A few years back I finally purchased my first SUV (92 Jeep Cherokee), which was MUCH more comforable than having to carefully slide my right leg under the steering wheel and watch my head getting out of a car. I had to trade it in early this year due to increasing mechanical problems, and now I have a 2002 Dodge Durango, a great SUV with TONS of head and leg room.

My wife on the other hand has a 2005 Ford Focus, and I can hardly stand being a passenger in it, let along driving (since my almost 2 year old son, who is OVER 3 feet already, sits behind the drivers seat).

I'd say between 5'7" and 5'10", if thats a standard 6'8" doorway behind you.

(Sorry, I should have included this in the previous post, hah)

I tried sitting in my mother's Toyota one time. I felt as though I could rip out the driver's seat and sit in the back seat and drive.

 

[lobadobadingdong]

I'm 6'00" I drive trucks, lots of leg room it trucks.

 

[TallBill]

I'm 6'7" and barely fit in a Crown Victoria.

Unfortunatly my police force drives Impalas. With all my gear and vest on I just jump headfirst into the car and see where I end up.
