Hey All,

I am very interested in buying a fit. I have one question for any taller fit drivers. I am 6'4" tall and thin, will the fit be comfortable for me?

thanks so much!

Andrew

 

Well i am 5'11 and found that i had plenty of room. You should just go take one for a test drive and go from there.

 

Andrew, I'm about 6'1" and thin and don't have any problems. It's definitely worth a test drive!

 

I'm about 6'2" and I don't have any problems. I recommend a test drive to see what you think about the seating position, and if you're concerned about longer trips, get cruise control.

 

I'm 6'2" tall. I've had a Fit for 2 months (around 3000 miles). I think that the pedals are too close (not enough leg room). If I move the seat to where my legs are comfortable, then the steering wheel is too far away. I think the Fit needs a telescoping steering wheel. I'm getting used to the driving position in the Fit, but it is my main complaint.

I rented a Vibe for a week (on a business trip), because I thought I might get one (before I bought the Fit). The pedals and steering wheel position in the Vibe feel very similar to the Fit. I thought the Vibe's steering wheel needed a telescoping feature (Mazda3 does, but I've never driven one).

 

Hi Andrew! I, too, am 6' 4", 205; I find the Fit to be comfortable for me, BUT I would advise getting the Sport, as the cruise control makes a long drive easier. Since I have long arms, I have the seats back as far as they will go and as others have said a telescoping wheel would be nice. I've added a JDM console armrest and I am very happy! Hope this helps you!

Thanks All for the help! Fittman...that is very reassuring! I would definitely be looking for a sport!

 

My dads 6"2 and he drives my Fit sometimes aswell, he thinks its pretty comfortable but he wishes when he has the seat back in a comfortable postion that the wheel would telescope to him.

 

Hello Andrew
Jamie here in VA
I'm 6'3" 220 lbs
I am rather comfortable in my silver Sport I just picked up last Friday.
Only 474 miles so far, so no real judge on long term comfort.
Like others said, pedals are kinda close....but I just came from an Astro Van with 200k + miles, so close pedals are kinda what I'm used too.

I am 5'10"... Average height. However I have the seat back all the way on the seat rails, and I could still use some more leg room for the pedals. Seat rail extensions (are they made???) would help.

Additionally, my right arm is fully extended (almost hyperextended) when I shift into 5th gear. Although it is possible I have long legs and short arms.

Go test drive one. Despite those two nuances... I love my Fit. My wife uses those two things for her case: "See - the Fit doesn't fit you - it fits me!" Perhaps we should just call it the Jazz...

 

I think this problem si for everyone who has pickiness. I'm 5'4 and although I'm hapy with the seating now, it's only becuase I got used to it. I really dont' know why the seating is so stubborn, cuz elsewhere it has telescoping wheels as well as height adjustment for the seat.
