Any tall drivers have comments on driving the Prius? <br><br>I'm 6'5" and took one out for a brief test drive. It seemed a bit cramped, but no worse than any number of other cars. I drove a Civic hatchback for several years without problem.

It would astound you, as it has me, to know that I have sold Prii to many tall males. The past few weeks, 4 men over 6'5"!!!! Prius seems to be comfortable for all heights.<br><br>Dianne

Interestingly enough, Toyota's engineers designed a cavity that a 6'2" man would be comfortable in & actually designed the car around that. They are brilliant when it comes to design. Toyota has a war chest of money for R & D that you would not believe.

Re: Any tall drivers have comments on driving the Prius? <br><br><br>I'm 6'4" and my previous car was also a Civic hatchback. I fit fine in either. The Civic let me stretch out my legs a tiny bit more, but it's less effort to get into/out of the higher Prius seats and the Prius provides a bit more headroom.<br><br>Robert Snyder<br>NJ-PIKACHU

&gt;Re: Any tall drivers have comments on driving <br>&gt;the Prius? <br><br>We may win the prize here... My husband is 6'9" and one of the reasons we were so happy with the Prius is that he *fits*, without his knees bumping the dashboard or the controls, nor his head rubbing the roof. In fact, when he positions the seat so he's comfortable, our 12- and 14-year-old sons fit behind his seat, with ample legroom. <br><br>We figured if he was able to fit in my Prius (he normally drives a mid-'80s Honda Civic sedan with his head rubbing on the roof), anyone could fit in it. Just about. :-)<br><br>Diane Reese<br>Prius delivered 10/9/2000, still love it.
