I know what you mean John... I'm 6'3" also, and a little bigger around the middle than I care to admit... There are cars I just can't get comfortable in. Some mini-trucks too. And even some not-so-mini vehicles. I do not fit well in a Dodge Dakota or first gen Durango. The b-pillar sits where my shoulder should be. I DO fit reasonably in Mini-Cooper. Infact i know a guy taller than me that drives one. I can't afford one at thist point in time. My Neon is a good fit, not great, but I can travel in it cross country no trouble. Or with a second person too. But no way can I fit 4 adults in it.

I've a friend with a Metro. He HATES it, it is cramped for him (he is bigger than me), but loves the mileage. In the year he has owned it, it has saved him almost as much as it cost him to buy.

I once wrote a review, of sorts, after renting a 2002 or 2003 Subaru Outback Wagon. I didn't mind the car in general, but in the couple days I had it, I never found a position that I could even tolerate. Otherwise, i wasn't unhappy with the mileage return, could have used more power, but was a ton of fun offroad to drive.
