Smile to make a decision

i'm 6'4" tall. After going through the threads on this forum, I could see many tall drivers (some even taller) can fit into this car. I'm currently learning driving with jazz and feel it would be nice and convenient to buy one after I get the licence. Should I go for the 1.3L or 1.5L RS version of jazz? Thanks for your opinions!

While you might get some answers on here, this forum is mainly North American. We do not have the 1.3L here, so we cannot really compare. There are a couple people from Japan (Belch) who have access to the 1.3L, I think.

I'm sure some here can comment on your height and the Fit, though.

oh. i can also go for the 1.5L RS actually. Because I'm a learner driver, I wish someone can show me if this would be a perfect fit for me. At driving school, I feel it's quite comfortable in terms of legroom, headroom, steering wheel position, and the view. The only thing confusing me is the rear-view mirror which seems to be somehow blocking my view in the front. Is this a real problem? I've tried to sit in different sedans, the view-blocking problem exists as always. Is this a common problem for all the tall drivers? thanks.

This is a Japanese car, and in case you haven't been to Japan, they tend to be shorter than 6' 4" tall.

You'd probably be better served with a European car which can account for your height much better.

I'm 6'2" tall and my right knee juuuuust misses hitting the dashboard. It's a case where an inch is as good as a mile so I'm not complaining (much), but I have relatively short legs for my height and I suspect anyone 6'4' tall will probably have a problem with insufficient legroom.

I'm 6'-4" and while I wouldn't mind another inch of seat travel, I don't feel cramped in the car, and that's having made several 10-16 hour road trips in it.

6' 32" inch inseam, the cars ergo layout is a inch off for me in the ratio of distance from shoulder to steering wheel and hip to pedals. No matter what I do I can't get the combination of seat angle and front to rear position quite where I want. definitely sit in one!
Mine is ok for a half day or mor e trip but not my first choice if I have a 12 hour drive in the queue..
