#720 of 793 Re: Rank Vehicles By Legroom-Headroom-Etc. [joeedoran] by mostlyjazz Mar 15, 2007 (11:14 am)
Replying to: joeedoran (Nov 24, 2006 12:07 pm) I recently purchased a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited without a sunroof. I am 6'4" and over 300lbs. Room for 2 car seats in the 2nd row. Nice vehicle.   Our other car is a 2005 Volvo XC90. I fit in that also. The XC90 also has the third row seats. So we can put one of the kids in the third row and I can put the seat all the way back when I drive.   Hope this is helpful. When I was shopping I also tested and fit in the VW Passat and Hyundai Sonata. I did not fit in the Hyundai Azera or any Honda products.   I traded a 2004 Ford Expedition for the Hyundai. The Expedition had more comfort and room but was a major lemon. Replies to this message: cablue (Mar 19, 2007 7:53 pm)

Replying to: mostlyjazz (Mar 15, 2007 11:14 am) How is the xc90 if the kids are in the 2nd row? My kids would be in the 2nd row. Are you still comfortable to drive with someone behind you? Also, is it true that you cannot play a cd you burned at home in the cd player? That's what a salesman told me. I found that surprising. Thanks!
#722 of 793 SATURN VUE is AWESOME! by orbit9090 Mar 25, 2007 (5:30 am)
Check out the SATURN VUE with the available adjustable seat height and NO Sunroof.   The Saturn Vue has better ingress\egress height (distance between roof rail and seat cushion) than every vehicle I have tried except the quirky Honda Element, and the Vue also has amazing legroom.

Replying to: badgerfan (Sep 14, 2006 7:22 am) There was recently a car show in Memphis & Ford is re-naming the 500 as the Taurus & is putting in their new 3.5L Duratec V6 with the new 6 speed transmission that has just come out on the "Edge". That might be another reason to consider the vehicle. Ford is also re-naming the "Freestyle"(wagon looking vehicle) as a Taurus X & this will also have the same engine & transmission.
#725 of 793 Some cars to consider: 6'-6" by jim150 Apr 01, 2007 (5:37 pm)
We searched for a car my 6'-6" 300+ lbs son could drive occasionally, and have this to report:   Definitely, you need to actually try out the car - published dimensions don't help much. Look for tilt and telescoping steering wheel, and power seats.   Short list of vehicles that fit: 2007 Nissan Altima with power seat (tilt, telescoping). 2007 Camry with power seat (tilt, telescoping). 2007 Ford Fusion with power seat (tilt, telescoping).   TOO SMALL, even with power seat etc: Ford 500, Hyundai Sonata. All Kias, all Suzukis, all Subarus, all Hondas, all Mitsubishis, Hyundais. All Toyotas (except Camry).   We could not find any small or medium SUV that fit - not RAV4, Highlander, Pilot, CRV, Ford Escape.   One more thing: don't count on the sales person to know their products: the first Ford dealer showed me several vehicles, but not the Fusion. The first Toyota dealer didn't even suggest the Camry.

Replying to: cmk73 (Jun 07, 1998 12:49 am) I 6'2" and over 300lbs unfortunately. I have an 07 Azera Ltd and have no trouble getting in (electric tele and tilt wheel) and getting a comfortable seating postion. Still plenty of room behind me.
#727 of 793 New to this... by daisyvarga Apr 05, 2007 (5:29 am)
Hi- my husband is 6'6 with very long legs and we have been searching for the perfect car for months now. he drives a honda accord, about 100 miles per day to and from work, so we need something large enough for him and with relatively good gas mileage as well, so far, the only thing he has really liked is the acura tl, but even that gas mileage isnt the greatest. any suggestions on a good commuter car could be? also, he loves the new toyota tundra, as his test on any car is to get into the back and see if he fits. does anyone have the new tundra or experienced it and if so, how is it?

Replying to: daisyvarga (Apr 05, 2007 5:29 am) He would be overjoyed to ride in the back of the new Tundra Crewmaxx pickup. It has as much or more rear seat room than the Dodge Ram Megacab. It really is roomy. Poor mileage, however.
