#722 of 791 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 791 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.

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.

Replying to: daisyvarga (Apr 05, 2007 5:29 am) 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.   Joe Replies to this message: pat (Apr 06, 2007 5:11 am) daisyvarga (Apr 06, 2007 5:50 pm)

Replying to: jobiek (Apr 05, 2007 2:04 pm) Helpful post - thanks. Some of those are surprising.
