The only complaint I have at all about the seating is that we dont have a telescopic wheel. Normally I wouldnt care, but it seems that on this car I can never get the right balance. But it is really not that big of a deal, it would just be that much more comfortable if I could move the wheel towards me a tad.

I am 6'7" and a quarter. I weigh about 254 lbs.
I just bought my 07' tc about 4 days ago. I bought the car without really sitting in it.
BreakAway, who most of you know (he just did the Thompson Scion show) let me sit in his. It was close but he had too many mods to be sure.... but I bought it anyway.
The sunroof HAS to be open, lol. (slider part anyway) I would not recommand any bigger ot taller. A little cramped but doable. Getting in is harder then actually driving it.
BTW, thx Zach for all your help in choosing the extras.

Loci, have you had a chance to climb in a tC yet? That's pretty much the only way to find out. I had a bit of a head start since my '99 Corolla was about the same length car, and felt slightly shorter on the driver's seat length.

When I took the test drive, it was just like climbing into the Corolla, except the seat was very high for some reason. I knew about the Celica's **** that adjusts the seat height, but the **** in the tC was all the way down, so I erroneously assumed that the seat was all the way down, and drove the entire test drive sitting high, with my head almost bumping the inside cover of the moonroof. After the test drive, the salesman showed me the pump lever for adjusting the BACK of the driver's seat. I shook my head in disbelief, got back in the car, pumped down the seat to the bottom, and realized that I was now in the perfect position.

Yesterday i test drove one, a sliver tc 2006 and i love it, i push the seat all the way down, pushed it back. and it felt great, i must have been in that car for 45 mins. but then my left leg started to cramp. if i was a passenger i would fit great, no problem but i was the driver and the "thing" you put your left leg on was to high, so that really bother me. i fit well and the car is cozy but its not for people who have long legs. i'm 6'4 and i want a tc but i wouldn't be comfortable in it for more then 30 mins on the driver side. so then the sale guy said this car isn't for me, i should go with a 2007 CAMRY SE! but i want my tc, drove the Camry se, and loved it. it is really a nice car, but to expensive right now, and out of my budget. so i won't be getting a tc anymore, i wish they can make a bigger one.

I'm 6'4 and 250 lbs and don't have any problems with the car. I have taken it on a 3 hour non stop drive and was comfortable the whole time.

I'm 6'0" 200 lbs and keep the seat two notches from being back all the way. There's just enough headroom and it's a comfortable fit, especially on long drives.

I was totally blown away by the room in the tC. I'm 6' 3", and I use a wheel chair. Also I have to teen boys, both over 6'0". I am able to load my wheelchair into the rear pass seat, and then have one pass in the front, and the other behind me, and we all fit well, and have had fine long trips

I'm 6'8" and just shy of 300 pounds. I've got the seat back all the way and reclined properly and I fit just fine. Maybe a midget could sit directly behind me in the rear seat.

Did a 4 hour drive about 2 months ago and was very comfortable the whole way
