I am 6'6" and fit just fine.  One of the reasons I got this car is that it
was one of the few small/mid-size cars that I fit in well.

That is because they hide the air bag in the wheel.  (mine does not that an
air bag so it has the horn in both places.)

A couple more complaints.
1) the lights are on a togle switch near the drivers left knee.  I have
	turned  the lights on (and not noticed) several times when getting
	out of the car.
2) the car idles very fast when it is in park.
3) the speedometer posts before the end of the dial (85mph) (but don't tell
	anyone I told you :-)
