Many Thanks But Genesis Did Not Fit

I've got to imagine his torso is of Foghorn Leghorn proportions...

lol.... nice

No - his hips are at about my upper-gut area... slightly above a door handle in a house or business. I am 5'10".

He claims to be comfortable. I will see myself tomorrow.

Thanks, may take a look at the Sonata when we replace the 10 year old Maxima. New one shrunk in legroom and the console got wider leaving less space for trifles, like my legs.

I got to ride in it - both front and back. Lots of G2 inspired design language inside - and a ton of room. Rear legroom was awesome. Front width and legroom was really good as well. Handling felt real good - firm but not at all jarring. A bit softer than an Accord with the feel and steering of a Passat. He got the 1.6 Eco - and without even trying that thing pulled HARD. I have to say I am quite impressed - especially considering he got it for 19k.

Just wanted to thank all of you for your consideration and insights these past many months. Unfortunately my 6'7" body did not quite clear the bottom of the steering wheel. I could fit, but could not move my foot quickly to the brake pedal in case of emergency. The console also made things a bit too snug. I tried Toyota, Infiniti, Honda, Mercedes, Nissan, BMW, Cadillac, Chevy sedans no luck. I did not go over a mid $60,000 threshold on these cars. If the steering wheel would have raised up another inch or two I probably could have fit. Although way out of my price league even tried the Tesla.

After all of that I thought nothing would work, until I sat in an Audi A6. I have legroom and headroom. Although I would have preferred something less expensive, it is a very nice car. Perhaps if Hyundai decides to rearrange the steering, and/or give the driver more legroom (and an inch or two less to the back seat), I will revisit this very nice car. Good luck and driving to you all.


I'm 6'6 and i have no problem
