Default Tall, is the TC 4 me?

I am tall, at first went to the dealer looking at the tc, I soon noticed they didnt have any yet, so I looked at the xb's and really liked it. I may get the tc, but I wont even think about if I cant fit in it. BTW XB vs. TC lets hear some opinions.

BTW I am 6'4" 300

The xB is a very big car on the inside, it has more headroom that almost any SUV out there. It is hard to compair that to the tC. The tC has a little more room inside then a Civic.

For the tall people, tC made the moonroof standard. Just a touch of a button and you will be able to ride in a tC with your head room having no problem.

Really, it will all depend on how you sit in a car. If you sit very straight, then you might have a problem. But if you sit like most people (a little slouched), you should have no problem (as stated by many previous posts on this subject).

Considering your vertical and horizontal dimensions, the Xb would probably be more comfortable--both to sit in and to get out of. You're a big guy, and most sports cars just aren't meant to accomodate you.

However there is also something else to consider, performance will be adversely affected. The xB has a small engine and only 108 hp. You will notice it struggling during acceleration and hill climbing, esp if you are carrying extra passengers and cargo.

well I'm 5'1"...why do you want to know? j/k


From what other people were saying, the xB is roomier than a Hummer. (look at their stats and you'll see for your self its true) Some reporters have said they felt the inside was too tight. But hey, its a coupe, what do you expect. Not much longer till you can sit in one and deside for yourself.
