I have never figured that one out. I've seen some absolutely huge people stuff themselves into really small cars. No way can that be comfortable.

How tall are you Cleanws6? 4' 10"... can't even imagine... my g/f is 5' 3" and seems so short next to me @ 6' 0" - 6' 1"

5'8" with a good set of work boots on.

Gonzo0903 it's funny you say that because I've seen more than one "large" person squeezed into a Civic coupe or something of similar size.

Trust me, it ain't. I am 6'3.5" and some mid sized vehicles don't have enough room for me. I have had cases where a car's steering wheel does not allow me to slide in comfortably. My biggest complaint is usually legroom/seat travel.

However, there are some small cars that I can fit in with no problem whatsoever (e.g. Minis, Mercedes SLKs). However, there are some sports cars (e.g. Camaros/Firebirds) that do not have enough room to the point where I am forced to recline the seat at an extreme angle in order to have any measure of comfort.

However, I have seen some people either taller than me or larger than me squeeze into an Aveo.

1Clean: Nice pic.

What's strange is I am nearly 6' 1" and drive a Trans Am... I slide the seat almost 100% forward. Everyone thinks it's strange but it's not uncomfortable for me at all... and it seems to give me a lot smoother leverage on the clutch.

5'-8"? Hair would add another few inches.

Great pics! My wife also fits easily in the overhead storage compartment on an airplane at 4'-11" and 92 lbs.

If I had hair to grow I might touch 5'9"!!!!

When I met your better half I knew that I had to get mine to meet her. For some reason it seems that the "little people" bond well when amongst their own ilk! Kinda like Yoda speaking to Obi Wan in The Empire Strikes Back..."No...there is another".
