How tall is too tall?

Hey guys and gals,
I am new to the forum but I have really enjoyed reading the posts and just learning new info on the tsx. I am interested in purchasing the car, but I have one minor question to ask the tsx community. Exactly how tall is to tall if I was considering getting a tsx? I am 6'2" tall and i am currently driving a pain in the A$$ 98 integra coupe. My head reaches the roof of the car and my knees are rubbing the steering wheel Would i have enough room to be comfortable and would my passengers have enough roof in the backseat to be comfortable as well? I really would hate to pass up the opportunity to get a great car based on my "lurch" like frame. Any reply's would be greatly appreciated!

I hope there are other giant tsx drivers out there...........

That's wierd. I'm 6'3 and the TSX fits me pretty well. The drivers seat is also height adjustable. As for your knees hitting hte steering wheel try adjusting the bottom cushion to tilt backwards.
Or...
Lower your seat, move your seat back, then use the telescoping function in your steering wheel to move it closer.

You should be able to get it to fit. I'm 6'3 and it fits me fine and i believe there are a few here that are even taller than me.

I'm 6'2" about 230 and I'm plenty comfy in my TSX. I have to put the seat almost all of thew way back, but I have plenty of headroom.

Back to topic, my brother has a 98 Integra coupe also, and I drive his car sometimes still. Jumping from his car to mine, the TSX feels very spacious and cavernous, and plenty of headroom and legroom compared to the Integra. I am 5'10"

You can also adjust the steering column up and down.........as far as room for passengers in the back, it may be a little tight, but not bad.

Do these dudes even know each other? They're not posing in front of anything or posing as a group even. Looks like a "john" bust and they'll have to explain to mom what they were doing at a parking lot in the seedy part of town.

No more mods for you!

You'll fit fine. I'm 6'4" and I have plenty of room. No one over the age of 8 would dare sit behind me though. Actually a buddy of mine sat behind me the other night and he's at least 6' so really should be no problems for you.

I think this is THE BEST picture ever posted on this site.

And Dan's "I fit fine in my TSX" comment makes it even better.
