hey noteri..
i 2nd that.. i'm 6'6 as well.. 245lbs.. and fit great into the tC.. that was my biggest concern of this car.. i did find that some dealers took the seats out to scotchguard them.. and when they put the seats back in, they messed up the height adjustment. and i wasn't able to fit in the car, my head hit the roof, even with the seat all the way down.. Luckily the dealer i'm going to, doesn't touch anything unless you ask them.. and i was able to tilt my head back and touch the headrest.. and had about 2 inches above my face.. plenty of room..
i had to recline the back of the seat back about 5 clicks.. but that works.. and i am impressed.. finally a seat that actually FITS my back!! I didn't want to get out after the test drive.. just sat there..
so i'm right there with ya.. it's about time they made cars a little bigger.. i don't care to have to drive a huge lumbering SUV.. just so i can fit in a vehicle..
what I also noticed about this car, is when you get in.. it's like a glove.. just surrounds you.. kinda cool.. my old civic you were just sitting there driving a car, but the tC is like you ARE the car.. way cool..
the rear? i tried it.. and it wasn't prettyfor me.. i think someone who is up to about 6 feet tall would be okay..
what color is your car? let us know how your experience goes.. they just located mine.. be about 2 weeks before they get it in on a delivery..
