vehicle for tall driver

Not very "eco", but my wife's '06 Saturn Vue (SUV) has headroom (i'm 6'2, long torso), a flat, wide seat, should be plenty high enough off the ground, and, with the 3.5l VVT Honda engine, gets better MPGs than most v6s, even with the automatic transmission. (it's only spinning at ~1800 rpm at 60mph).

I would also recommend the Scion xa and xb which have oddly big space for such small cars. The xa is far more fuel efficient than the boxy xb but I mention it only because of it's seating space and position. These were the first cars I ever saw where you don't have to lay down to get it and us short people have so much head room it feels like there is a second floor. I remember when they first came out I thought they should be marketed to old people because they are so easy to sit into. The xa gets 30-35MPG. Of course if you get a box xb then you could never show your face in this site again... just kidding. Hmmmm that makes me think... What would a Scion xb with a fish tail look like?

Jack Rickard on EVTV spent some time comparing ingess/egress on his Tesla and a smart fourtwo. He's a big (around) guy and getting into the Tesla is [almost] comical. The smart OTOH has a door that's half the length of the vehicle. You just walk up and slide in.

I always wanted to see one with a 4ft boat tail.
