Size Matters - Can You Fit into a Modern Car?

[Slowpoke]

6'3" and down to 249 from 272 so its getting easier to fit into cars.
I just bought my wife a newer car and a prime consideration was could I fit into it?
Needed it to be comfortable so we can use it for long drives, she dosen't care fro my Wrangler. 
Ended up etting  Rav4 of all things.

I'm 6'4" and 325.   There's a reason I'm not restoring an A body an why I drive a full-sized pickup.

I'm a lot like the OP - I like my space!  I'm 6'3", 300, with a size 13 or 14 shoe.  The modern car is smaller inside and I'm XXL.  My daily driver is a 2011 Escalade ESV and I don't especially like the way I fit inside.  I, too, absolutely hate the closed-in cockpit style of most newer stuff.  My '74 Charger, w/ bucket seats & the buddy seat seems to be as big as a living room compared to new, full-size cars.

Thanks for letting me vent!

5'10" / 260-ish. I'm fairly comfortable in 08 Charger and the wife's Challenger - which isnt exactly a shocker since theyre big cars. But surprisingly enough, I've test driven the FIAT 500 and the Abarth (same car for purposes of this conversation) and i was comfortable in that too, didn't feel cramped up or anything. Now, with any of the cars mentioned above, any passengers sitting behind me may not be very comfy, but that's not MY problem.

I fit into anything, no problems. The only thing I don't want to fit into is a coffin...........not for a long time yet.

Feel most at home in my 01 ram 2500 quad cab. MInd you the seatbelt comes out the end to buckle yet my car i'm fine go figure. My commuter is a 01 jetta tdi no sunroof and I fit good with the seat back a fair ways. The vw i like you can lower or raise the whole seat and not feel like your laying down. Nothing with sunroofs, or i seem to rub the roof. Never been in a compact gm car that i could fit in knees always in the dash and the seat feels like ,y shoulders are trying to wedge into a baby seat. Vw,toyota seem ok.

Have a 91 notchback mustang no sunroof and it is about the best fitting as far as pedals,shifter,wheel maneuverability.
