I'm 6' 4" and I fit no problem in the Evo. There's even enough room for someone to sit behind me.

Nah that suprised me the TT is not that bad. A friend of mine has an Audi TT and it has a good bit of leg room. But up top towards the head not soo much i could see how if your 6'5+ it would be a big PITA.

I totally agree! I'm 6'3" and about 230lbs and the first difference I noticed between the STi and Evo was the headroom and increased visibility. I've never had to worry about messing up my hair against the cieling on the way to work. The Evo is also the absolute BEST car I've ever owned when it comes to overall visibility and the lack of blindspots. After going from the Evo to a coworkers Civic it felt like going from a bubble to a shoebox that somebody punched holes in for air.

When i told my wife i wanted to get one she looked at me and asked if i'd even fit. I brought her to the dealership with my fingers crossed, got in and said, "SEE! I fit!"

carbon8ted or pennektj can you comment on how the long haul ride is for you since i'm similar in body type/mass.

I have put almost 14,000 miles on the car... I regularly drive 33 miles to work and 33 miles back... and I feel like that drive goes to quickly... I wanted to drive more

the longest trips I have taken were up to Buschur Racing (4 hours) and down to Atlanta (8 hours). The 4 hours trip wasn't bad... the 8 hour trip... my right leg got a little sore... but does in any car (I have a Mazda 6s also... same feeling).

Not once have I ever felt like the car was too small for me. I have a tiny 95 Civic 4 door for the dirty weather... now THAT is a small car... I can hardly get in and out of it.
