Sorry. I ain't a midget.
More often than not there isn't a good correlation between overall vehicle size and interior comfort for big galoots. I can get comfy in a Metro, a Tempo, the old Beetles (LOTS of headroom in those!), etc., and I have been unable to get comfy in some full-size pickups, SUVs, "luxury" cars, etc.

So, no, I don't buy it when someone claims they need an Excursion or some such to be comfortable.
