6 feel 2 inches
Hi!
I really wanting to hear opinions on the leg room from 6 foot plus owners. Im going to test drive an xD this week end but love to hear some thoughts and compromises from current owners. I really really want the xD to be my next vehicle. Thanks!
I'm shorter than you and I find the seating position to steering wheel to pedals all off. seat needs to be lower. So much so I installed a 100mm extension to the shifter to help by back
I'm 5'9" (so says my license), and I have no problem is the height and distance. But my dad who is about 6' has to slide the seat all the way back and raise the wheel just a little bit to fit in... But he also has a "beer keg",as I likes to call it, strapped to his belly. lol
well im only about 5'11". i have no issues with the seat all the way back. plenty of room. and i dunno if it helps, but my brother is 6'4" and he has no problems in the passenger seat. he hasn't driven my car, but if i remember right, he did get in the driver seat and could actually fit. lol. now driving it may be a different story. lol

Thanks everyone. I will find out this weekend. I have no problems with my jeep wrangler and its leg space is only about 2 inches more. I will see. Thanks again!
A lot of people aren't used to the seating position in most newer Japanese compact cars. The seating position is a lot more upright. More like you are sitting in a dining chair rather than a recliner. It's a lot different than my VW Golf, but I actually prefer the xD. I feel like an old person when I try to get into my wife's Honda Civic. It's like sitting on the ground. Plus, I have to tilt my head to the side to get into the Civic. Not comfortable at all.
I'm almost 6'3" tall, and I rarely put the seat all the way back. I'm also not a skinny guy by any stretch of the imagination. Sometimes on a long road trip, I will put the seat all the way back... just so I can stretch my legs a bit.
