I'm 6'0", and have about a 30in inseam (although I usually buy pants with longer legs,) my back is really long compared to the rest of my body and I have plenty of headroom in the tC with the seat adjusted all the way down. I haven't quite figured out if I want to have the seat back all the way or up a little closer yet- still finding the "sweet spot" on the driver's seat position.

Its definitely not about the overall height as much as its your individual body part lenths proportion. I find the tC roomy, but my arms get tired because they are pretty much completely straight to steer because I have my chair pushed back all the way for sufficient leg room. Telescopic would solve that problem but we aint got it. So I dunno how much help you will get from your post. You need to just go in for a second...third test drive and see how you feel.

I'm 6'7" and in my tC I'm rather comfortable for a small hatchback....36" inseam and long arms too.....can reach the wheel with ease when sitting all the way back....

Thanks for the info, everyone! I'm thinking I'm going to need to drive it once more before I make a final decision. My torso is just long and so my head (with the seat all the way down) grazes the roof of the car. If I recline the seats, then I'm stretching to reach the wheel. I suppose I could get used to it, but I've been driving cars with chair-like seating for so long that it feels a little awkward.

It's good, though, to hear from so many people taller than me! You all are great!

im 6'2 185.. and the tc is great.. but you do have to lean back a lil bit.. sitting upright your head will brush the roof... slouching works.. but my knee bumps the sides a little bit.. take a lil bit to get used to

6'4 and 34" inseam... fits great for me, I have no complaints. Knees are close to the steering wheel but they dont touch so I'm fine with it.

5'10 here and I love the way I fit in my tC. In my old car I had to push the seat back and stretch my arms forward and it was never truly comfortable (always had bad shoulder aches). The tC is really comfortable for me.
