Am I To Tall?
 

Hey fellas. Its nearing. The release of the 2007 models. I called them and since production starts june, they said 6-8wks after production starts, it will hit dealers.

My Question is, am I going to be too tall? Im 6'3 long legs. Will the H3 be too small for me? ANyone else that tall, taller, or near that owns one?

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

Only way to know is for you to sit in one. ;) One suggestion - get the Luxury package with the fully adjustable seats. The standard cloth seats don't let you adjust the seat height.

My Husband is 6'2, and he has loooong legs. Leg room is not an issue, just make sure you have the power seats in the Lux Package, you'll be fine.

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

I'm 6'2", have the adventure package and how no problems with the leg room. I think it is actually better than the other SUVs I have had.

DON'T GET THE SUNROOF

Why not, what's wrong with it?

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

X2, most people I know that didn't get it wish they had.

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

I am just over 6' 0". I don't fit in most vehicles because of head room. (Must be a longer torso? :confused: ) I've sat in a few H3's (dealership closed but an unlocked H3 on the lot). Just to get a feel for the roominess. Nice headroom without a sunroof. Too small with sunroof (and lux pkg). So that's why you can't get the sunroof option.
Leg room: I think there is more leg room in H3 then my current QX4 (pathfinder clone). So H3 might just be the ticket.

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

No Sunroof! thats the only option i really wanted. does having a sunroof really take off that much inches from the roof?

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

Better to just go to a dealership and check it out for yourself -- don't base it on anything else but your own observation..

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

I'm 6' 3", haven't noticed any problems or restrictions or anything.

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

6'5, long legs, no problems whatsoever. Sunroof is not an issue and I have plenty of headroom and legroom is just perfect.

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

Well, i know I have to go and try it myself. but thats easier said than done. So Thats why im asking u guys. Anyway last question

Is it easy to enter and exit?

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

I wouldn't worry about it at all, there's plenty of room and more room than any other mid-size truck.

And yes, it's very easy to get in and out of

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

I'm 5'6"...

NO PROBLEM for me!!!!!!

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

Hate to disagree (not really, but don't want to be obnoxious about it), but I dont' think the sunroof will really make much difference. It does take out some headroom, but if you get the non-power seat it is really low and plenty of headroom. If you get the power seat you can lower it to provide lots of headroom. I think perhaps HummerHippy sat in one that the seat wasn't lowered all the way.

I'm 6"4" and also have a long torso. I have headroom problems in most cars with sunroof, but not in the H3. Leg room is not an issue, I don't drive with the seat all the way back and there is still plenty of room.

Good luck!

I am 5' 8" but wear a size 12 shoe, so I am more affected by LENGTH restrictions rather than height!!! :p

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

The sunroof should not be an issue. Actually I love having it and think it is a huge benefit.

I also have the lux pkg and love the ease of adjustments and heated seats. My brother in law is 6'5" and he had no problem driving my standard trans H3.

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

I'm 6'2" and have no problems. I have a base model with manual seats and no sunroof. I even have the seat up a little bit. I think you will be very comfortable in an H3 with or without the sunroof.

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

Swwwweeeeet!:D

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

i knew that wouldn't get past at least one dirty mind in here!!! :eek:

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

make sure you get the one without the cup holders! they really get in the way. Do you really use your sunroof? come on be honest. Too hot, too cold, too much noise.. come on you don't use it do you? it just stays coverd up over 80% of the time or more.

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

I'm 6'8" and no problem!!! :D :D :D :p

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

yeah, but what's your shoe size???? Hmmm???;)

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

I wouldn't have ordered one myself. It wasn't even on my list of would like to haves. But one was there and now that I have I love it and use it all the time. Open the sunroof and back windows and it's great getting the air without it beeting you to death through the window.

I'm only 5'9" but I've been told I'm very gooood....

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

:D :D

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

LMAO :D

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

I am 6-1 but have a size 50 waist. it is girth not ... well:o

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

The funny thing is that I drive our H2 with the seat all the way back. I'm 6'0 and that works for me. If I sit in my H3 and put the seat all the way back, I can't even reach the pedals! :D So the H3 has more room for tall ppl with long legs.... even more than the H2. I have power seats with sunroof in the h3 and love it!

Hate to dissagree with you usetosell, but I don't think the cupholders get in the way at all. They are just in the right place for me whether I'm driving or being a passenger. And I use my sunroof all the time. Granted I close it durring the heat of the day, but I can't wait to open it when the sun starts going down.:D

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

hummer in the hummer!!!!!! :rolleyes:

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

X2 :D :D

I ruv my sunroof, it's open alot!!!

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

I wear size 13 shoes Bebe, do I lose a demerit for that :D

My problem is not leg or head room but foot room with the pedals so close together. I have to have my right foot basically laying on its side to work the gas pedal and not get hung up on the brake pedal. Really becomes a problem when off road trying to BTM since my right heal sticks further over than the brake pedal :(


It varies from person to person. I use mine all the time and when not open, the shade is only closed maybe 5% of the time to cut down on heat when parked. It was one of the options that I required. Now my GF has had a sunroof in her past 3 cars and it is probably covered up 75% of the time and open maybe 5%.

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

LMAO!! You guys crack me up! I guess I forgot to put that in addition to being 6'2", I have a size 14 shoe. :)

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

One of our salesmen is 6'8", and he drives an adventure with a sunroof as a demo and hasn't had any problems.

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

You got an extra sock stuffed in there don't you :rolleyes: ;)

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

I wish I did. Finding shoes in this size is a SOB!:mad:

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

I know, 13 is hard enough but I bet 14 is at least a little harder :mad:

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

yeah um i'm 6'3, maybe 6'4 now, size 14 shoes. and only 19 yrs old. so um....Unlike you guys i might still be growing!So now theres a problem with the pedals too close??? ANyone having that problem? My brother drives a manual '04 eclipse, and that was hard for me to work the gears because im taking up 2/3 of the car=) sometimes I would press the gas, and get some break also. It wasnt very smooth with me. ANd my knees would rest on the gear stick. errrsometimes being this tall is a curse!!=)

Re: Am I To Tall?
 

At first, I found the pedals to be a little on the close side but now I'm used to it and have no problems at all. I'm very comfortable in the H3.
