Yea I'm 6'5" and have an explorer. I'd agree with this assessment.

I think I'm going to have to get a full size pickup or SUV. It's just I haven't looked at sedans, other for so long I wasn't sure what is out there.

I've had salesmen try to shoehorn me into a car before. Sucks to make a trip to an auto lot only to find there is nothing you can fit in.

I had an explorer around 15 years ago, but it didn't make 100k Miles. Other than that, it had plenty of room. Do the new ones get good reviews?

I'm 6'7 and my previous car was an Acura TL and I fit just fine in it. If someone say behind me, they might've had some problems :haha:

Currently have a Lexus ES. You should be fine with most midsize cars and up

I've got an 08 that has >100k on it and it's running great. I haven't had any problems with it thus far.

Yea I kept the shave open most of the time for a little more headroom but that wasn't an issue at all

My cousin is ex-basketball player Clarence Ceasar and said Shaq used to drive a little Pontiac (if I'm not mistaken) with the back seat taken out for more leg room back in the day.

I have been very pleased with my Nissan Armada. Good room throughout and drives well.

I fit into this category unfortunately. I hate SUVs. I've never been in a truck. Toyotas haven't been that good of a fit. Hondas have.

Im only 6"5 but I fit in pretty much any full-size car, truck or SUV. I was gonna buy a CTS-V coupe though and I can tell you that is the SMALLEST freaking car ever, my head was cranked up against the roof, so that is out for you.

Why would Shaq drive a Pontiac? Did he think it was a Cadillac or something?

I'm 6'5" and drove a Honda Element for 10 years. I had 3-4" of headroom easy in that thing. Now I have a Prius V and still have headroom, tons of legroom and with the seat back, people can still comfortably sit behind me. Plus I get around 46 MPG.
