I'd break you in half

How tall?
5'8 asian. I find that these doors are taller than other cars and I'm ticked that I can't comfortably hang my elbow out the window. Raising the seat makes my riding height too tall compared to my passengers.
Do you tall people find the doors too tall as well? If so then how did you find it when driving cars that have "normal" doors?

6' and very happy with the size inside. You can't fit that many tall people in the rear seat though. I have a friend 6'10" and he drove my car with no problems.

i'm 5' 5 13/16". i keep the seat almost all the way back and it feels like there's too much head room. i think a tall person should have no problem fitting in a tsx though.
then again, i use like 3 of these.

Ouch- my pet peeve subject!
I'm 6'-1" but dont forget the meaningful critical dimension is the lenght of the torso, above the seat. Mine is long, and I could not fit well in most of the very excellent cars I looked at.
I really wanted a car with memory seats, which I consider a safety feature as well as a convenience, but my head did not clear the sunroof/moonroof of the TL, the G-35 coupe or sedan, the Volvo S 40, nor even the Altima, the Honda Coupe. The only car with adequate headroom besides the TSX was the Audi A4 but I cant stand the ugly snout they added this year. The BMW 3 fits tolerably, but they have a black mark on safety tests with poor hip protection in side impacts.
Of course I could always learn to drive like a gangsta rapper with the seat reclined way back, in which case all of the above cars would have fit me.

I'm 8 ft. 2 in. tall and I find I bump my head on the ceiling alot. In addition, it's very difficult for me to enter and exit the car, and my head sticks through the sunroof when it's open.
No....., I'm not really 8 ft. 2in. I'm 6 ft. tall and the car is extremely comfortable for me.

I'm 5'5" and the seats don't fit me very well. Must be built for taller people. The seat back is too high, headrest is uncomfortable, and the front of the seat catches me under the legs. Using a "wedge" does help. I may try to replace the seat with a Recaro if I can figure out how to mount the side air bag.
