6.4 and have test driven both the Wagon and Sedan. They fit just fine, but the Wagon is a little bit better.

6'1" with plenty of room to spare.

i do plan to get one but i think i may be still too small for it.

4' 11.5" tall:(

still 1/2 inch under 5 feet. and some mornings i still measure myself if i have reached 5 feet yet. Well i guess that's how asians are.....................

6'3" and 225 lbs. It fits great, plenty of head room, and I love the seats.

I'm 6'4"; of the cars I looked at (Celica GTS, Integra GS-R, Jetta, Eclipse, Mustang, WRX) The only car I fit in with more headroom than the WRX was the Jetta (even with a sunroof:cool: ). But the WRX still has plenty, even with a helmet on for autoX. In the Celica and Integra I had a quarter inch or less headroom, so that kinda eliminated them. The (new) Eclipse was a PoS, frankly, compared to the other cars in fit & finish, and it was cramped to boot. Mustang I fit well enough in, though the flat seats sucked compared to the WRX and Celica's (Celica had the best seats IMO, with the WRX a close second), and RWD in a harsh winter climate just wasn't going to happen. So, it was either the Jetta or WRX; WRX was so much faster and better handling, plus AWD instead of FWD, which outweighed the increased price over the Jetta.

So that was the long answer; the short answer is, 6'2"? no problem...

6'4", I fit my sedan with plenty to spare. At least a inch of clearance with my Helmet on. Without I can fit a clenched fist above, and thats with my seat back almost vertical in both cases.

Buy one!

I'm 6', and have plenty of head room to spare, more than in any other car I have owned. You'll have no problems at all at 6'2". The seat is height adjustable, too.

The only incovenience I have with my driving position is that my left leg gets very close to the steering column, I can easily hit my shin against it if I'm not careful. I'll have to play with the seat adjustments sometime, but I think I have the seat at the lowest position already, so I'm not sure if I can do much about it.

hehe only 5'9 here... i wish the roofline was lower.... i feel so small in the car~! :lol:

I'm 5'6"...a short American, but a tall Asian. (Sorry, Fuji K!):D
I'm quite comfortable with the extra interior volume around me!

I'm 6'2" and I drive a GC8. So long as no one is sitting behind me I don't get bothered.

About 5"11 165 lbs. Plenty of head and leg room.

I'm 6'3'' and it fits like a glove. The head rest also goes up quite high and is very adequate.

But I'm must say that the first I sat in one, it felt a little bit too snug. But now it just feels great!:cool:

6'4", 320 lbs. Plenty of room all around, with headroom to spare.

Your experience will depend on the height of your torso. I'm 6-2, but with a fairly long upper-body, I have to tilt the seat back for autoX.
I have to say that this is one of the best cars I've seen for headroom, short of a neon (yikes). I didn't get a gti because I couldn't fit.

ymmv

That's awsome, I had no idea it had that much room in them, they appear to be kinda small from the outside. That's cool. I'll definately check into them.

I'm 6'2", weigh 250 and drive a WRX.

I don't even have the seat all the way back.

I'm 5'11"

My buddy is 6'4" and he fits fine

I'm 6' 3" and the WRX sedan could easily accomodate a Driver's Ed helmet.

5' 10"

There is more headroom than a BMW 3-series and similar leg room (if you know how spacious a BMW 3-series is)

When I plopped my lanky 6'2 body into it, I was suprised that I couldn't touch the footrest with the seat all the way back. Holy cow, that's a lotta room. In my ranger, my head is about 1 inch away from the rollbar, in the WRX my head is about ~3 (aka a lot) inches from the roof

I'm 5'6", 170 pounds, and the WRX fits me well.

The only thing I wish the WRX had was a telescoping wheel. You know that thing about how your armspan is supposed to be the same as how tall you are? Well, I'm 5'6" but my wingspan is about 5'10". So in cars without telescoping wheels I either have to sit too far from the pedals or have arms that feel too bent when driving :rolleyes: I guess there are some disadvantages to having the bodily build of a chimpanzee :lol:

6' 1" 220lbs don't even put my seat all the way back
