golly...everybody here is gigantic...i'm 5'4" and 115lbs...i like it that it's so wide because it looks more aggressive...and it makes me feel like an executive rollin' in my car ...i guess i am short but i am only a girl :wink:

6'4, I fit fine in 1st gen and 3rd gen, 2nd gen is a little low for headroom. I feel really high in it.

6'4" 250 lbs.....long upper body. Hence, headroom is a *little* tight for me....if I sit bolt upright my head brushed the sunroof edge. Shoulder and legroom is great though....

I'm 6'6" and 250 lbs. When I first got to test drive a 3G TL I almost cried because I couldn't comfortably reach the gas pedal due to the steering wheel. Then I remembered that the seat was 8-way adjustable and lowered it down towards the floor board. I seem to have more room in my TL than any other car I've owned.

I stand 6'4" tall and fit nice in my car. It's quite a change considering I used to drive Aircooled VDubs in HS.

Is there some sort of correlation between tall individuals and those who drive the TL? Does that mean I won’t qualify to drive a TL (5’9”)?

6'7" - 230 lbs -- TL fits me great and was one of the reasons I bought the car. Although, if I sit up perfectly straight in the seat my head does touch the ceiling, but I slouch in the seat so no problems. Legs fit good and I can stretch my left leg out nicely.

I'm guessing tall people are more likely to reply in a topic asking what their height is, short people probably just ignore it.
