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.

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?

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.

I can help. I am 6'-6" My inseam is 36 inches. I tried out virtually car at the Minneapolis, MN Auto Show. These are the new cars I fit in. When I say fit in I mean comfortably and could drive a long distance.
1. 2007 Toyota Avalon
2. 2007 Nissan Altima
3. 2007 VW Passat
4. 2007 VW Jetta including the GLI
5. 2007 VW GTI
6. 2007 VW EOS
7. 2007 VW Rabbit
8. 2007 Mini Cooper Coupe (not convertible as the 2007 rag top is the 2006 style body)
 
If you want a great reliable used car try out a 2003 or 2004 Toyota Avalon XLS. Not a pretty car but very plush on the inside. Besides who cares what it looks like on the outside when you're riding in pure luxury and comfort.

I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Saturn Astra this fall. The specs indicate great driver's leg room, and this review by a 6'3" driver is very promising.

I sure it has already been mentioned, but the Scion Xb has a ton of driver and passenger space. I'm 6'6" about 250lbs. I fit comfortably and have two kids in the back seat with plenty of room. Not much storage space and the looks are not for everyone. It does make a good commuter car.

Re: Cars For Tall People \ Vehicles for Tall Drivers
 
- For 2008 the Ford Five Hundred will be called Taurus, and it's twin, the Mercury Montego, will be called Sable.
- The Scion Xb and Saturn VUE will be all-new for 2008. Measurements on chart apply to the 2007 models.
