How tall are you? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Quatro · 03-01-2007, 07:10 AM

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?

6' - I could wear a top hat in myYaris.

Welcome to the forum.

6' 2" with plenty of room!

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

Welcome to the forum.

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

True.
But Yaris leaves a lot to wish for.

5'7 perfectly in Yaris Sedan

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.

5'11"... I feel like I could fill my cabin up with water and swim in it.

5'11" here, This is one of the reasons that I fell in love with the Yaris LB, The interior room is insane given the outside area. I love small cars!!

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.

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