I'm 6'2" and like my seat very upright (I don't get slouching in a seat unless you're racing in an open cockpit). The only sedan I've ever had an issue with head clearance with is perhaps a Camry with moonroof. My hair would occasionally touch the headliner.

My Acura TSX has a moonroof, has 5.9" of ground clearance, and a 56.5" height. No headroom issues.

Sure, there are people taller than me, but do we really need more headroom considering most people slouch in their seats and are shorter?

If Toyota made a Yaris electric (or even a Corolla), I'd be all over it.
That's what I'm talking about. $17k for a new car with 4 wheels. I don't get the trike pricing when you can get a new car for $17k, with a full warranty, and full safety features and testing.

There needs to be EVs selling at that price with no subsidies too. The Bolt is getting close with some reporting low $20s for a new one. I'm sure GM is taking a loss selling them so cheap.
