Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum, just got my car recently.
I was wondering what's the average height of a Yaris owner. I'm 6'5'' myself and I don't feel the lack of space. But I didn't realize Yaris was that spacious until I got in one.
That makes me think tall people wouldn't even look into buying one because of its size, automatically assuming it's too small, although they may like it otherwise.
So people, how tall are you?

only about 5'10, and with my lowered seats, from the outside it looks like a midget (sorry, vertically-challenged person) is driving. I could put a Carmen Miranda kind of hat on with no problems :biggrin:

6 footer here. Tons of head, hip, and leg room in front and back seats! I was shocked about this. Just one more benefit of the 2007 Toyota Yaris liftback.

I enjoy driving _small_ cars with manual transmission that handle at least decent.
That was my problem all the time - I like cars I hardly fit in.
Yaris is a pleasant exception - VERY roomy. :smile:

I do believe the question was "How tall are you", Not how small are you!:thumbsup:

6'3", plenty of headroom, want more legroom under the steering wheel. Going to put in a lower driver's side seat soon.

Agreed.
That's why I can't tilt steering wheel all the way down - I'm gonna steer with my legs.
Yeah, headrooms not an issue. And on the apsenger side, neither is legroom. But at 5'10" and the seat all the way back, even I could stand to have a bit more room under the steering wheel...or maybe just a wheel that adjusted better, since my options seem to be to either have my knees hitting the thing or drive with my arms straight out.

6' 3½". I lowered the steering wheel because of the roominess.

6'3" barefoot with a 6'6" arm span.
I have plenty of head room. Keep steering wheel at mid-point, height-wise. Then, if I place my right foot between the pedals, I can get my right leg under the wheel easily in order to get in and out.
Our 2006 4_runner is about the same,but I wish the seat went back a little further in the 4Runner.

Wow! I didn't expect so many tall people to reply. I guess the system does work - great height gives you confidence, therefore you don't need to prove your social standing with a big and/or expensive car.

No way, man!
I came down from Expedition myself. Now you can bash that gas hog all you want, but when it comes to spaciousness - Expedition was HUGE inside.
I'm 6'5, I know what I'm talking about. When I pulled driver's seat all the way back, I could hardly steer - I was that far from the wheel!

maybe its the new one you have before... but I feel weird and dizzy riding trucks coz of its higher center of gravity or maybe the suspensions SUCK!

6' 220 - enough space, just wish the wheel telescoped out a bit.

True.
But Yaris leaves a lot to wish for.
