I still think you'll need to sit in it and give it a try. I'm 6'4" @ 215lbs and when I sit up straight in my 99 Solara, my head will just touch the liner. -JoeB

Theoretically it depends on how you put your seat. If your head is close to the liner, recline the chair, etc

go to a dealer and search for a used one. sit in it =P that's the best way to find out.

General size measurements help, but the shape of the person still come into play.

Just take some time to sit in one and you can deicde for youself =D I'm a big guy and I fit just fine :D

I'm 6.0" and 210 and for being a two door It's the biggest I've ever been in. Putting the seat all the way up my head still has about 3 inches from the top. I keep the seet all the way down and the car looks bigger. I'm sure you will need to keep the seet to it's lowest and you'll be ok. Go get one! Get one with a sunroof! hehe It will feel even bigger.

And get the V6 too. You'll be hatin the i4 at your size and weight. And you will ride lower than others when you lower it too. Later,
