I'm 6'5" and 280 lbs with a 34" inseam.

I fit "comfortably" in my Backdraft. Certainly, not as much room as my wife's Acura MDX or my Grand Cherokee, but hey, this IS a little car.

I can even get in and out without pushing up along the seat and sitting on the top of the seat to get out, and can get in by placing the right foot in the footwell, sitting in the seat, and bringing the left foot in. I'm 56 years old and not as limber as I once was. If I can get in and out of a Backdraft this easily, I'm sure most people can.

You should be fine at 6'4". But remember this will most likely be your "dream car". YOU have to be happy with it. Don't worry too much about what others think is "right".

Try as many different cars as you can on for size. Only you can decide what is comfortable for you both in fit and the proportions of the vehicles.

To ME, my Backdraft is the best of both fit and proportion. I absolutely LOVE the car. It is a great handling and riding car also.

Good luck!

Cheers!
Dave
