I once had a '78 Civic, a car whose mission in life was evidently to never admit it wasn't a motorcycle. It went like stink, got great mileage, and fit me to a T. It was super tiny and felt almost as roomy as a Citation (from the driver's seat) at the time. I was about 5'11".

I gave it to a friend who was 6'4". He was all leg, and drove with his knees in his ears and one elbow out the window.

The dividing line between "big enough" and "not big enough" is pretty fine.
