Anybody 6'2" and fit in a Fit?
I haven't driven the Fit yet but I'm really hoping I can get behind the wheel and not have my knees raised above my belt to drive it. My Corolla is so tight I've developed knee problems. My girlfriend's '89 Camry has enough adjustments for me to be comfortable except by the time I'm high enough my head hits the roof!

SIX FOOT TWO - # 215 - See inside
FIT TEST DRIVE - Saskatoon.
Finally got into dealer to test drive a FIT...AMAZING CAR ! I drove a red LX, Auto, tons of room - I am 6'2'' - 215 lbs., handling on this car is superb !
I had 4-6" clearance for headroom and 6-8" from knees to dash -
Wierd quirk - dim the dash lights - you get a "beep" - took me by surprise - only beeps once - only on dim function. ? ? ?
Putting front seats back from standing outside of car - clever little release at the top of the seats - Honda engineering reigns supreme here !
Passing on the highway - no worries...this car has plenty of zip - I have driven the Aveo, Wave, Yaris, Swift - (All in the last week) Interior, handling, and performance, Honda rates above the rest - way ahead !
Interior is very well laid out (Um, Yaris engineers take note, and go back to the drawing board) and the seats are really comfortable - tons of storage areas and bottle holders. Big glove box for tons of stuff.

Daniel is posting 2 pictures for my in another thread to answer your exact question. I am still adjusting to the diff. cockpit, my other car is a 1985 Olds Delta 88, like a livingroom. I'll be posting my impressions after a little time has passed, I don't like to make snap judgements, esp. after only one day.
I find there is lots of room, make sure you recline the seat back a bit.
Forgot, I'm 6' 2" 245.

Another review -- from Chicago. Mostly enthusiastic, but a little more critical than others I've read (rear leg room and front cupholders, cheap door handles and mirrors). http://www.suntimes.com/output/auto/car-news-car03.html

I prefer A-Silver. I test drove the Storm Silver, but when I saw them together changed and got the A-Silver instead. The other one looks Grey in this picture of them side by side.

I'm 6'7" and I fit in the Fit.
I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm 6'7" and I fit comfortably in the Fit. My wife and I are looking at replacing her SUV ('04 Pilot) with a Fit Sport. It's her favorite vehicle thus far and we've tested the Civic EX, Mazda 3 Sport, Toyota Matrix, Toyota Yaris, and the Dodge Caliber.

We both liked the Fit more than the caliber. I think we both preferred the exterior appearance of the caliber, but when it comes down to it where do you spend your time? Looking at the outside or sitting inside the car driving? The caliber's interior didn't impress me at all. It all seemed like just rough, hard plastic.
Additionally, the main reason we're considering the Fit is for the fuel economy and the Caliber isn't in the same class as the Fit in that area.
