I'm 6'-4" at 245 pounds, and my brother is 6'-6"+ and ~265 pounds -- you might want to try the new (2009) Fit which is ~2.5" longer on the inside?

The xA is no longer sold -- they replaced it with the xD, which is heavier, Cd is worse (0.32 vs 0.31) and the engine is larger (1.8L vs 1.5L). The list right at this moment includes:

Fit
xD
Yaris (2 or 4 door hatchbacks or sedan)
Versa (4 door hatchback or sedan)
Aveo 5

In a few weeks (or months):

new Insight
Scion iQ
