I am 6' 4" and where a 16-17 size shoe, I have my seat slightly angled back for comfort , and I just need the steering wheel about 2 inchs closer, I feel I have to round my shoulders a bit to reach the steering wheel, but besides that I fit fine, even with my boat size shoes, unlike in the TC my mom has, the Brake and gas pedal are so freakin close together in that car, I find myself stepping on both sometimes. and no matter how far back or how angled I get the seat, my head still hits.

I think that those of us in the 6'-2" to 6'-4" range are accustomed to vehicles that actually fit...

People who are much bigger have maybe never had that happen, so they don't know the difference... not being completely cramped is defined as comfortable...

I don't notice any issues until I've been driving for 30 miles or so, and the seat seems to be getting better- maybe it's the Homer Simpson butt-groove in the couch phenomenon at work...

OOk so after reading all of these past posts here...it looks like no matter what your heigh/size is some of you fit easily while others have a problem. It apears it doesn't always matter how tall you are as you may fit better than someone shorter. Am I missing something here? I've only sit in an Xb once and I didn't seem to fit very well...I think I'll have to go back monday and take a closer look at it...the dealer didn't seem to want to sell that car as he pushed me to a Toyota Camry instead...hmmm (Sorry...but I'm only interested in the Xb...and I'm willing to do just about anything so I can fit in it..comfortably.)
