Heh, well something tells me she won't take kindly to me asking her to chauffeur me around. I called my dealer and we are going to try and get a fully loaded test drive in the next week or so. I would love for it to work, but if it feels uncomfortable, we will have to look at other options. If only it had an extra inch or two... Replies to this message: riproy (Feb 24, 2009 9:07 am)

Replying to: robert_lord (Feb 23, 2009 7:06 pm) Robert, I am 6'3" and have owned one for 2.5 years. My height is fairly well proportioned between upper and lower body. I wouldn't want to be any taller than this for driving in this car. I could use a little more leg room presently but it is adequate. The passenger front i find has less knee room than the drivers side. Head room has never been an issue - it is knee and leg room. 6'5" might be a bit too tall, but then it depends on your body type too. Take it on a long test drive. Good luck

I'm 6'2" and have plenty of room in the Mazda5. Just rent a Mazda5 for the weekend and take it for a long drive. The week before I bought my Mazda5 I rented one for $70 (three days, Enterprise weekend special) and put about 700 miles on it.
