I'm 6'2 250 and fit no problem. Three days after picking up my new ride I took a 4,000-mile roadtrip with me, my wife, three dogs (sm, med, and lg) plus luggage and supplies for the week. Not a single issue with space. You will be amazed.
Unrelated to interior space, but I am experiencing some issues with a creaky seat, but i think that's more of a weight issue than anything else. http://tinyurl.com/mt6dmy

I am 6' 7" and 225. I am evenly proportioned and the only time I don't fit comfortably in the Fit is when I have work boots on. They have soles that are an inch and a half thick and put my knees in a akward postion. If I am wearing sandles or slim soled shoes no issues........I fit in the Fit.

I'm 6'1 and about 275. I fit great in the fit. An old football buddy of mine is 6'5 and about 330 and he fits in his fit as well. You should take one for a test drive, there is a ton of room for such a small car.

Ahhh, to be young and cute!
I'd settle for either at this point.
We'll get pictures of HondabRiTT reclining seductively on the front passenger seat...
And me in the cargo compartment, with the cargo cover, with the hatch closed and the seats up...

That will not disguise or hide cuteness!
I'm 5'4" and this Fit is a LOT larger than my old VW Cabriolet. I can't reach the right side air vent in the Fit while in the driver's seat. I used to be able to do that in the VW.
I feel dwarfed in the Fit. This is the biggest car I've ever had. Inside anyway.
It's a trade off for taller people. Some folks have complained about the feeling of being pushed around by cross-winds in the Fit. Yes, that will happen, and the taller the vehicle, the more there is to push around.
The car is aerodynamic from the front only, not the sides. LOL!
For folks wanting to get away from that cross-wind problem, this is the car for you...
But you sacrifice head room. And luggage room. And other seats. And a stereo. Doors. Rear view mirrors.
You taller folk NEED headroom. Or you have to slouch. A lot.
It's got to suck to feel like you're always in a waffle iron. All squashed.
The Fit does a pretty good job of accommodating people, as well as cargo.

6ft1in, 227 lbs, 38 waist (loose ), 50 chest. I sit comfortably in the Fit with no issues. Broad shoulders/big chest have been a problem in other cars...not this one.
Two common issues I have with small cars - left knee room and settling in.
Left knee --> Depending on my level of rest, and on the pants I wear....the left leg rests differently. In small cars, it usually means the knee is pressed firmly against the door and/or door handle. With the Fit, my left knee rarely touches the door. Nice surprise and a plus for me.
Settling in --> Based on my experiece with 2 Civics and 2 Integras...plopping down into these seats and being comfortable with my position on the first try was rare. It usually called for diggin a left elbow into the door arm rest, and planting a right hand on or around the ebrake. With the Fit, this isn't so. Another suprise and a big plus...everytime I get in, i'm IN. Good thing since I've learned how fragile our door panels are...the area for the driver's left elbow resonates like cardboard when i flick it. I never noticed until I came across a thread in here about some dudes who have already broken that area doing the shuffle for good position.
