4 tiny people. Lmao like you are the average at 6'4. Get your head out of your behind.
There are small cars with higher roofs. But please elaborate why tall peoples' only way of transportation in cars is trucks :D
Yep, I'm also 6'4" and I drive a subcompact hatchback perfectly comfortably.
And while I'm the tallest, my tall family has no issues.
How much leg room does the person behind you have?
9-10 in with the seat all the way back
This is a weirdly common issue in this sub, people dismissing one person's issue or use case offhand, because it doesn't align with their preconceptions.
Most small cars don't have anywhere near the leg room of a big vehicle, especially with multiple occupants.
I didn't say you need a truck, or that I'm average. But comparing the space inside these two vehicles as equal is just not true.
