Im 6-5 and have no problems ,,, BUT I have size 18 feet and thats a problem. The brake pedal is to close to the footfeed, My dealer said they have had some calls on this problem and there might be a fix on the way. OK So I had to take the rubber cover off the brake pad and hacksaw a 1/4 inch off the right side of the brake pad to get my big old foot to not hit the brake pedal, Dosnt look pretty but I have room now. The rubber pad will never fit back on again but I really dont care. Funny what a guy with big feet will do to cope... :-)

No but VW bugs come with a flower vase.

I can't imagine that an H3 is the best vehicle for a super tall person. The combination of the floor being 2 feet off the ground and the cool chop-top styling makes for a rather short cabin (by SUV standards). But the front legroom (length wise) is very good which helps the tall people.

I'm only 5'9" so the H3 fits easily.

The issue with getting out (no matter how tall you are) is that the steering wheel does not tilt "up" as far as most vehicles in the market.

I really like the H3 and have test drove one about a month ago. I'm 6'3" and I noticed the steering wheel was a little close to my legs when I got in the vehicle.With adjustment of the seat ( power)i managed to drive fine but still thought the wheel was too close. I would like to hear from H3 owners who are 6+ foot tall. Any problems with adjusting seats/controls? Thoughts on headroom/legroom.
Thanks

I am 6'7" and was surprised to find out that I do fit in the H3 rather comfortably! The only problems I found were:

1. The door armrest and center console armrest were too low, and placing my elbow up near the window just felt awkward.
2. The rearview mirror always appeared to be "in the way" although this could be my imagination.
3. Looking out the rearview mirror was another oddity.

Other than that the H3 was very nice from a tall person's point of view. By the way, I MUST fit in a vehicle comfortably, otherwise I will not even consider the purchase.

Bill

6'3" 220 lbs. Yes, I noticed it was close as well, but once you learn how to jump in (I've got the 33 inch tires on the Offroad Suspension Package), it's not a problem.

6'2" and even the H2 gives me rug burn to the head. Not sure about the H3.

The seat was probably raised up.
