Default Do you fit?

Okay well im 6'3....Before I buy one i obviously want to know if ill fit in it..and since i want to know now, instead of going to the dealer to test(which i will later...obviously), ill ask you guys.

how tall are you, and do you fit comfortably?

edit: and if you do fit comfortable when youre tall, is there enough room for sum1 in the seat directly behind you?

i'm around 6' or 6'-1" and i fit fine...the tallest person i've had sit int he back seat was 6'-5" and he was comfortable.

if you're tall and lanky, then you shouldn't have any problems, but if you have a larger build, then you may feel a little tight in the car, width wise...but not enough to feel cramped or anything.

I'm 6'1" and with the tC I have to have the seat all the way back and reclined a little. The back seat of the tC is a bit small getting in and out but once back there its comfortable.

For the xB I have more room, especially more headroom, than any other car I have ever been in, and that goes for both the front seats and back seats.

A guy I work with is 6'4" and 320lbs. He drives a Ford Expediiton. When he told me he was spending 25.00 a day commuting for gas. I told him to get an xB. He says he only drives trucks, vans and monster SUVs as that's the only vehicle he fits into.

I told him to sit in the back seat of my xB. To his surprise he fit comfortably and it was the first time since he was a kid he fit into the back seat of anything.

Then I had him sit in the drivers seat and he fit fine. His eyes got wide and he said he's going to buy one and soon.

6'3" and very comfy in the driver's seat (250 lbs). I never move the seat forward and everybody behind me, including Cousin Carl at 6' 300++ lbs, always has plenty of room.

Everyone on my wife's side is 6' 4" and they love the xB. It has more room than any car they have been in, and that includes any SUV on the road today.

I met a guy this last saturday whos knees hit the steering wheel and head almost hit the ceiling. first time for me showing an xB, I had got to be so confident that anyone could fit in there, I almost bit my tongue when he got in. IT was Do-able, but not comfortable. he drives a Lexus LS400 99 model and has to Lean back like a gangsta just to drive it!!! super awesome guy, never did find out how tall he was, but very tall indeed.

I'm 6"5 270 and I fit pretty well although it depends on wether I'm wearing my work boots or not. I wanted a manual, but my size 16 feet keep mucking up the shifts, Hey simez2003 what did you use to extend the track on the tracks on the seats? If I knew what you used that would help me out greatly! preiciate it!

I PM'd him w/that same question...here's his reply:

I then used 3/8 bolts and nuts and connected the meding brackets to the brackets on the seat. Then i used the stock metric bolt and put it through the meding bracket into the stock hole tapped into the car's beams.

Hey Simez2003, I bet if you were to make a kit w/some basic instructions you could make some extra cash...just a thought.
