I'm 6' 5" 240 lbs and I fit just fine in my SE hatchback 5MT. I do not have a moonroof/sunroof and have about 1.5" headroom with the driver's seat relatively upright and pumped up just a bit off the bottom.

I traded in a 2009 for a '12, and it is lower, but I am 6'2'' and fit OK. There was more headroom in the old car, but I dont bump my head a lot, like I did in my previous 05 Sentra!

"after driving an old Prius for 4 years"
I am getting 33mpg average with my 2012 Focus SEL with 1000 miles on it. I drive 15,000 miles a year so that means I will pay $50.00 more a month for gas. For $50.00 I get no battery and no boring drive There is a reason that only 35% of Hybrid drivers buy another Hybrid.

Bought a 2013 focus titanium HB for wife. Amazingly, with the seat all the way down and back, and the wheel at maximum tilt/telescope, I have good leg room and knee clearance. I'm only 6'5" but with long legs and have very little choice in cars with comfortable knee clearance. Just tried 2013 cadillac XTS and lincoln MKS and don't fit. Previous model of chrysler 300 was good but not he new improved version. Maxima used to be good due to lots of tilt/telescope until they added paddle shifters which took up knee room. Auto makers: stop adding room to the rear seat and add it to the front. The person who buys the car does NOT sit in the back seat!!!
