Interested in Buying a Fit
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!

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).

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...
