I'm 6'3 and abnormally long in the torso, so I sit really tall. I do not fit in a lot of cars without my head touching the ceiling, sometimes crammed into it. I keep trying to save money by renting mid-size cars when I travel and it's fucking miserable. Literally driving with my seat all the way down and still having to either lean my seat way back and barely reach the wheel or cock my head below the closed visor the entire time just to see straight ahead. Vans, SUVs and trucks are the only vehicles I've been able to even sit in comfortably since I was like 15 or 16. I wish I could drive a compact and save money on gas. But there are a LOT of cars that are off the table for me because I simply cannot fit in them.
6ft8 here, with most of my height in my legs. I feel you, even large cars often have absurdly large dashboards and I still won't fit in them.
I've had to ask to swap my rental car several times already.
6'1 and similar. I cannot ride in a Toyota, regardless of the size of it.
My head is out the sunroof in a 2012 sequoia, and those things are bigger than a small truck.
I'm also 6'3" and long in the torso. If I lower the seat in my Golf as low as it can go I have 4 inches of headroom and if I push it all of the way back I can barely reach the pedals. I keep my seat back fully vertical as well; I can't stand for it to be reclined even a little. Either you have been driving the wrong cars, or you are looking for an excuse.
Huh. I haven't tried a Volkswagen. I wonder if that is typical of their models.
Either you have been driving the wrong cars
Apparently. I've tried many.
or you are looking for an excuse.
No need for the sass. Like I said, I have tried. I also drive a van now becuase we were fostering for a while and needed the seating, but I would love to downsize if only for the mileage improvement.
Sorry for the snark. I work with altogether too many people who say they have the same reason for driving their huge brodozers, and when I tell them about my VW they dismiss it as too small. I shouldn't take that out in random internet strangers.
Brings my short ass comfort that we are better in one fucking thing over bandit ladders /s
Bandit ladders?
Someone who is very tall can give the others a jump when trying to jump a wall to rob a place lmao
Obscure slang I guess
Ooooooh. I see.
