I'm 6 foot tall and 245 and sometimes if I don't have my footing right when I'm getting out or if I'm trying to be careful to not open my door too much to get it, its a little bit of a hassale but so worth it. It prob wouldn't hurt me to lose 20-25 pounds tho!

Anuj found one at a dealership close to my parents house. Going to attempt to stop by this Wednesday. Thanks for all the insight!

I'll let you know how it goes

I am 6'1" and 280 pounds />

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

6'0", 185 here. I think that for height I'm near what would be comfortable for this car. The seat is in the full back position and I'm borderline on seat positioning. I can't chime in on weight issues, however.

i am the same height/weight and also have to dip my head to see out of the rear view mirror. all i can see out of the rear view mirror in a normal seated position is the bottom of the wind visor.

6'2'' 210 here. Just some visibility issues with the stupid windshield bar being in the way off stuff, but leg room in the driver seat isn't a problem. Now trunk space...

6'1 and 190 here
i did some research before purchasing mine and read how head room might be an issue.
i have more than enough head clearance, but my seat is pushed almost all the way back, but a lot more comfortable and roomy than what i expected after what i had read

This will all vary with torso length and leg length. Always best to just try it.

I'm just under 6'1", 210#, and arthritic knees. Getting in and out is a pain, but not as bad as my Corolla. Once in, I have good room but also have vision problems and the radio door is a pain in the knee. All in all, I think you will like it.
