To dam tall for most cars!

[ViNcEnXo]

Believe it or not, Shaq used to drive a mini!

Me thinks he ripped out the front seat and sat on the back one... :D

[Will*]

yeah its hard to feel comfortable in small jap cars. Im 6'4'' and I was driving a MIRA the other day (heaps of fun - used knees to steer!). and id love to drive a lotus elise! (sigh)

but my mate is 6'7'' and he drives an excel everyday, so i just think of his frustration. bahaha! :D

A mate of mine can't drive ... can't remember which of the two it is, I think it's Falcons, 'cos he's too tall. He fits in Pulsars (well, N13's & N14's) though.

However, the answer to the original question, as it is the answer to many questions, is "Volvo".

[Nick]

Yeah Volvo "Long Boat" for tall nords! :D

Angus (A777) seems to be able to fit in his Series 7 ok... just don't be close to the center console when he changes gear as your sure to get an albow in the arm! :D

You guys must sit up too straight.. start hunching guys :D

just get a convertable ... that would at least solve one problem :D

[itsnotagsr]

I'm 6.1 and I have about 20-30 cm head clearance in my evo 1 sitting on factory recaros. Plenty of room!

Stay away from Datto 1200 utes... I'd have to go to yoga to fit in my mates!

likewise, don't buy an s15, especially the Spec R. As said before, the sunroof reduces headroom.

Or, u can ask all those "fully-sik, seat reclined, only the head showing above the door" drivers what their secret is for achieving a lower driving position. :p

Seriously, I've seen a few 200sx owners have race seats bolted to the floor instead of rails and this improved head room a fair bit.

i'm 6'5 and i used to own a datto 180b had some problems but was able to drive it anyway go the commodores i've had 4 of them and had no problems with room

[rj-astra]

answer... Mazda 121 (bubble)

[bjp]

Seems like we could start a decent basketball team

I'm 6'6, i've had a VL Commodore, an N14 Pulsar, and a S14 200sx, and fitted fine. I was going to buy a 4wd Ute :p but couldn't fit into any except the Patrol, and couldnt afford one of them. Skylines are a tight fit, WRX's are a tight fit. Anything with a sunroof and you aren't likely to fit. My only advice is lay the seat back and drive pimp style :D

[krisko]

Im 6' 3" and have not had any problems with any of the cars I've ever owned.....

Like somebody else said start slouching

[Setanta]

I'm 5' 6" and I have no sympathy for you :D

Damn mutants - that's all I can say :p

Well, I have a friend who's 6'1" and she can ride in the Civic... with the sunroof open :D

Works for me!!

I'm 6'6" and I fit reasonably well, a lot better than most other cars anyway....

I don't fit in a falco very well, the windscreen header is uncomfortably close...

I don't fit in a spec R 200SX because of the sunroof, Spec s is ok though.

The VT and later commodore is the only car I've *ever* driven where the seat can go back too far for me!!, they have stacks of room....

[Ballast]

I am 6'1" Which is not big compared to most of the people posting here. But the only car that I have ever had serious problems with was a Datto 1200 ute.

One of the best cars I have ever owned for height and room is a KA Laser, believe it or not! I have also owned a series1 RX7 and it was fine..... once I put racing seats in, I could get a helmet on and still have head room in that car! I also owned a 180B and it was spot on, I had stacks of head room in that, with standard seats I proberably had 20cm to the roof...
