I'm tall - 6-6" - and this is the roomiest and most comfortable car I've ever owned. Comparable to a Yukon for a driver. Great room inside at all seating positions for me. see full Honda Crosstour review |

The other big plus is space. I am 6'4" with two sons over six foot tall. Even with me driving, there is enough space behind the drivers seat, and plenty of headroom. For the first time people actually tell me the back seats are comfortable! see full Mazda Mazda6 review |
