I'm 6'4 and I can fit very comfortably in a Polo. Volkswagen Polos are in the top 10 best selling cars in the Netherlands, along with Opel Corsa, Toyota Yaris, Peugeot 208 and Kia Picanto. All compact cars that are perfectly comfortable in the front seats selling great in a country where being 6'4 isn't rare.
Agree, I'm 1.93 and was so happy about my MINI as that car is designed for up to 2m tall drivers.
SUVs are idiotic as people movers.
With anyone in the back? Because I drove a Jetta for years, which has a surprisingly spacious front seat. Unfortunately, unless your legs were two dimensional, you did not fit behind me.
What about the back seat, with your lanky ass sitting up front?
