Best Coupes for tall drivers? Or cars for tall drivers period?

Question

I have a 97 Honda Accord, and in about a year, I want to get a new car, preferably a coupe, for 2 specific reasons for myself. 1. Easier to park. I have limited depth perception, and parallel parking distances judgment can be difficult sometimes. 2. people usually don't ask you for rides! anyway I went to the LA Auto show, sat in several cars, and was disappointed that several of my favorites, like the BMW 6 and Scion Tc had zero headroom. Not totally opposed to buying a 4 door. My dream car is a G35, still want it although only having about 5" of head room.

Answer 1

Try looking at the Dodge Magnum R/T , Charger R/T, Chrysler 300C or try out the SRT8 versions. Lots of head room for over 6 foot people and plenty of leg room as well! These cars are comfortable to drive and lots of power especially with the Hemi's.

I am 6'1 and have a Magnum SRT8 and lots of headroom and leg room for myself and plenty of leg room for back passengers as well

Answer 2

I'll only answer this Q if you promise not to laugh!
I am serious.

Most people do not believe me, when I answer questions like this but I am relating the absolute truth.

Ford Focus is the answer.!!!

I'm telling you, this car will fit just about any Driver!
I have sold this car to hundreds of people who laugh when I suggest it , but after getting into it .....no more laughing!

My personal "record" height customer was 6' 10" tall & his wife was 5'2" !!!!!
also this car (with the teloscoping tilt wheel) is not a problem for those people that are "big" around the waistline either !
That goes for pregnant women as well as "overweight" folks.

You can get this car in several bodystyles, and loaded with leather heated seats & all the bells & whistles or a bare bones el-strippo model & it still fits 99% of drivers.

OK ...are you done laughing?

Go drive one! You'll see for yourself.
Then come back here & appologize to me for laughing!

Answer 3

Ethol is dead-on about tall people being able to fit into a Focus very easily. I'm 6'2" tall, and I have plenty of head room even if I want to drive while wearing a crash helmet (I've taken it autocrossing a couple times). However, there is one problem with a Focus: The front end just disappears on you. You can't tell where the front end is, which makes it a bit of a pain to parallel park. However, at least it's easy to tell where your tail is.

Answer 4

I've got a 2007 Toyota Camry. I'm 6'4" and have plenty of head and legroom. It has a telescoping steering wheel, though I wish it would telescope even more. It's not a sporty car, but it looks kind of sharp. I've got the 4 cylinder. I hear the 6 cyl is much peppier.

Answer 5

I know this is kind of opposite of what you are going for, but did you ever think about a dodge ram srt10? Viper engine... in a big ol' truck. Maybe a ford lightning? They offer room and comfort, while still being very sporty. The SRT10 will sure blow the pants off of anything on the road.

Answer 6

when it comes to cars they have never has the tall people in mind,,dodge has some that have a lot of head room and leg room in them,and there are others also,but i agree with you i don't want to drive something that my head touches the top of the car,you might look at some of the newer dodges ,and a few of the Chevy's are pretty roomy also,, good luck hope this help,s.,,have a good x-mas.

Answer 7

i am 6'4'' and i agree with the last guy, i have driven both the chrysler 300 and the magnum, and both had plenty of room, i didnt even need the magnum's seat to be all the way back to be comfortbale. i have also driven the nissan maxima and the altima and both had good room as well, plus none of the four are bad lloking cars.
