I have seen reports of taller drivers not fitting in the xD well. I am strongly considering the xD, because I like it a lot, but I am curious... will I fit in it?

I have not yet got a chance to test drive one, so I know that's the best solution. However, I am looking at purchasing one online, since it's much cheaper, so I want to see if I would fit.

I am 6 feet, 3 inches tall. I fit into Hyundai Accents, Chevy Aveos/HHRs, and Toyota Corollas/Matrix just fine. I, however, do NOT fit into the Hyundai Veloster, or a Toyota Celica. That's about all the examples I can give. I am okay if it's not a perfect fit (especially if I could get late model seats put in to alleviate the problem). I just want to know if I will fit at all!

Any feedback is appreciated!

I'm 6'3" and I fit into my first gen tC. You'll probably fit into an xD since they're more economical than the tC. I also fit into my ex-girlfriends xA, which is smaller than the xD.

My dad is 6'4 and my bro is 6'2 and they both have borrowed my xD before and neither one complained.

im 6'3 and have a fairly long torso so i sit taller than some in a chair.

my head was def close to the roof when i was in the car, with a slight recline on the back of the seat i found that i fit very comfortably in the car and never had issues. the only issue i could really see is if you have really long legs, because even fully back i found my legs to be a little cramped until i swapped my steering wheel out. i could see it being a bit bothersome if you have long legs
