I am 6'6" & 230lb fit very comfortably in the TL. I went to the Acura dealer to test drive the TSX, but did not fit well.

Quit teasing the bangs, dude :)

I'm 6'3" and about 210 lbs, and I have room to spare.

I'm 6'1" and the room in the TL was one of the reasons I chose it over the BMW 325.

stock95accordex 09-22-2004 02:01 PM

6'-1"

dabuda 09-22-2004 02:04 PM

i'm 5'9" and fit comfortably in my ride

Dkrudop 09-22-2004 02:18 PM

5' 10" here.......counting another vote for the "not overly tall, so we don't have to use more than our share of all the air and water" segment. :D
Methinks perhaps some people might be stating their height as it might be displayed in the NFL Player's Guide!! Now THERE'S some fictional writing.

dysd 09-22-2004 02:42 PM

I'm 6'5" and I've found while shopping (don't have a TL yet) that my height has eliminated alot of cars for me. My current vehicle, I have to wrap my legs around teh steering wheel, but it is comfy cause it has nice seats and has lots of adjustability (lumbar/tilt etc). The Legacy GT, R32, G35, and TSX are all about the same size and are just OK. The TL has plenty of room, which is NICE. :)

I am 6', 195 lb. I still have yet to test drive the TL. Still looking at that and other cars. I have a fairly built frame (gotta love hockey) so shoulder room is a must. :)

dwcolt 09-22-2004 07:07 PM

6'2", 200 lbs and the TL fits GREAT! Plenty of headroom and just enough legroom.

Billy4130 09-22-2004 08:30 PM

6'4" with plenty of leg and head room.

Bonedoc 09-22-2004 08:46 PM

6'1" and I can sit behind myself with room to spare...one of the reasons we bought the TL in the first place! As noted earlier, my right knee seems to ride up against the center section. Love the seats.

SSMTL04 09-23-2004 12:59 AM

i'm 5'7 and i feel nice and comfortable

andytran 09-23-2004 12:35 PM

im 6ft1

CJITTY 09-27-2004 04:48 PM

6ft 1in
195 lbs +/- 10 lbs..more on the + side if I have Popeyes Chicken the night before I weigh myself

spooky3ce 09-27-2004 05:55 PM

Why would anyone want to know??? :dunno:
I'll asnwer anyways... 6'1" and like Bonedoc, my right knee rest on the center part of the car where the HU goes...
Most confortable car i've driven... :loco:

DAVERUBINO 09-27-2004 06:22 PM

6"4" 195 lbs. I fit OK, but I'm really not happy with the seats. They hurt my lower back on trips. My Z3 did that and I got rid of it. My '98 Vette was super comfy. Has anyone put in aftermarket seats? I tried a lower back pillow and it helps some. I love the car, but geez my back hurts! :doh:

Cubanmix 09-27-2004 06:46 PM

6'4 but i dont leave much room for people in the back, I put my seats almost all the way back and i gotta lay my seat back

Nathan1 10-08-2004 11:41 PM

I'm just 5', and I love to drive my '04 TL. I am very comfortable in the driver's seat.

Jerky 10-09-2004 09:01 AM

5'11' but i sit waaay back (no not like a ganster, but just to be comfortable)

It's fantastic how there is so much more room in the backseat of the TL, my buddies IS300 is very cramped and hurts the back when you sit in rear

6'1'' 250 lbs, fit fine.

mrwiggs 10-11-2004 10:44 AM

I'm 6'3" and have the seating in different spots depending on the driving I'm doing, but i allways have room.

About the only thing I don't like about this car is that the height of the passenger seat can't be adjusted. I feel like I'm looking down on my companions!

Yo, You are so right, I'm 5'7" and I had to raise the seat abit higher but it does make you feel that you are looking down at the passenger.

ifrisbee 10-13-2004 02:39 PM

6' 3" and my hair hits the sunroof line, But most cars with sunroofs I can't even sit in.
My height is all in my trunk I only have a 32" inseam.
My wife's inseam is 2" longer and she's 3" shorter than me.

VADER 10-20-2004 07:25 PM

6'8" with helmet and boots

SRK85 10-20-2004 07:49 PM

im freaking short 5'3 haha my seat is very high but i dont sit too close to the pedals cuz i have long legs.

csunracer 10-20-2004 08:09 PM

I posted my height/weight before but I guess i'm a little bigger now. Close to 6'10" and 270lbs.

MADCAT 10-20-2004 10:00 PM

From what I’m seeing.... this car is made for tall westerner’s. :hurl:

MADCAT 10-21-2004 04:55 AM

There's nothing you can do about your height. You just have to take what you get. I have a 99 TL and its fits perfect for me than any other cars I have driven. I have the seat almost all the way up too, but still very comfortable for very long drives that I have done. I think the minimum height you can have is 5 feet.

GCOLONE 10-21-2004 09:56 PM

I'm 6'4 250 lbs. (all muscle of course), no problem at all fitting in the TL. "I got a need, a need for speed" just a line out of Top Gun I felt appropriate.
:woot:

mthomes 10-22-2004 07:59 AM

6 foot 2
I thought the tl cockpit was a little narrow at first but after i ajusted the seat i got it to a comfy spot !!

giovanni 10-22-2004 03:27 PM

6foot 1
no problems ....love the cockpit of a TL.

xtine04tlnavi 10-25-2004 11:04 PM

Haha! I am 5'2"!! Am I the smallest owner of a TL?

Nathan1 10-26-2004 07:42 AM

No, I'm the shortest so far -- I'm just 5 feet. I also have short arms and legs (inseam 27.5"), and my '04 TL is a nice fit for me!
(I had already posted a reply in October)

UglyPsycho 10-26-2004 08:12 AM

6" i fit fine.

Type S Bee 11-04-2004 10:17 AM

I am 6'0" and 240 lbs. Tall, Dark, and Handsome :D

Lister00169 11-04-2004 11:59 AM

6' 4.5" and 213 lbs....very abnormal.

indoMFP 11-04-2004 08:44 PM

5'11" to 6' and tip the scales at 220lbs..... I also sit in the ride way back, not like a gangsta, but just so my legs are not cramped and I am confortable.....

JPritch 11-05-2004 03:29 AM

6'3, 250lbs.

2003 TL-P.

I fit fine leg wise. My back is kind of wide for the driver seat though. I also wish the seat would sit lower. It feels as though I am sitting up too high at times.

It is still a very comfortable ride regardless. Long trips are a dream.
