6ft7 Drivers Recommend

I was car hunting a few years ago after my 1991 Oldsmobile Delta 88 died. I tried on a number of vehicles and did not want a mini van...uggg. I snuggled into a 1996 Bonneville and I find the Leg Room ample and Head Room acceptable. I have the seat as low as it will go so that I can see out the windshield okay. The car carries my 285 pound frame around comfortably. I will be looking again in about a year and if you are a tall man looking for a used car that fits I recommend the late 90s Pontiac Bonneville. Just make sure that all the electrical and brake cylinder problems GM cars are prone to have already happened and are fixed before you purchase. It is also a good looking car in my opinion.

We just got an email from a tall driver who traded his Bonneville for a Volvo S80.

I have struggled with the issue of leg room for years. I am 6ft7 and about 230 pounds. Comfortable cars for me are the Buick Lesabre or Park Avenue. In addition, the Dodge Intrepid is very comfortable. Both are front wheel drive and do great in the snow. The Dodge Intrepid is the only car I have driven where I actually have to move the seat up a bit. Each of these have some leg room in the back too. Both get very good mileage. The Lesabre I have now gets 26 mpg on the highway. Two other cars with leg room are the Oldsmobile Ciera and Chevy Lumina. Each of them get good mileage. Luminas will get almost 30 mpg and they are very comfortable. I believe the Buick Century would be a good option too.

I'm 6'7", and just bought a new car. Started off by looking at your site, but I don't think I saw it on your site - - a 2004 Volvo S80. I am very comforable in this car. Plenty of leg room for my 35" inseam legs - - in fact, I have to move the seat up!

Head room is also great. I can sit up straight with no problem. Even better, it has a sunroof - something I never thought I'd be able to have in a car!

This car is classified as a mid-sized, so its alot easier to park than the car it replaced, a Pontiac Bonneville. Plus it has alot more head and leg room than the Bonneville.

The downside to it is that it probably isn't great for a big family - not alot of leg room in the back seat. But, thats not a problem for me.
