    I find this interesting. You must have a relatively long upper body and
shorter legs than I. I am 6'5" tall, and I am quite comfortable in my Tercel. 
I also sat in (and fit in) a Dodge Omni, a Nissan Stanza, a Honda Accord and 
Ford Escort. I also used to own an Audi 100LS which I fit in quite nicely.
