He probably really drives a Bentley lol

Yeah every time I go to buy a car I almost buy a Mini. But the reliability issues keep me from going through with it. But I had one as a rental for two weeks and I loved it. Fit me great.

I'm 6' 2". We tried on a Chevy Cruze in a dealer show room and it had a really lot of leg extension room. A Cruze is high on the list for my next car, but I gotta wear out my Malibu first.

I, too, am 6'4" and if you are looking for a used car, try a fleet/police vehicle. I fit nicely in the Ford Crown Victoria/Mercury Grand Marquis. That included all the equipment I had strapped onto my belt.

Not mine! I have a nice big Acura RL, I'm 5'10" and when I wear a hat, it constantly hits the ceiling. If I were 6'2" it would be my head that is hitting the ceiling.

I'm 6'2". At Hertz, the Corolla is the only car I usually encounter at the airport where I need to go back in and ask for another car. Civics are tight but I never see those in the rental car fleet.

I would not suggest a RAV4 for a taller person. My wife has one and I "fit". But driving for more than an hour is not a good experience. My knee barely has any room even with the seat all the way back.

Also note that interior dimension measurements are almost worthless and you just need to go try them out. The RAV4 claims 41.8 inches of front leg room. And the Forte5 42.2. But I don't know about you but that looks like a lot more than a 0.4" difference. My old GTI was similar to the Forte5 and yet it just claims 41.2".

The RAV4:


My Forte5:
