Tallest person driving a Prius?
I am 6'5" and took a Prius test drive a few weeks ago. It was like driving a go-cart. I had the steering wheel between my knees. The dealer tried to adjust the seat and steering wheel for me, but couldn't. Too bad because I was ready to buy on the spot.
Then I read that Will Ferrell drives a Prius. I think he's about 6'4". I wonder if his Prius has a special interior for comfort?

I'm 6'4" and have enough leg room. My biggest complaint is lack of thigh support and lack of adjustment for the seat bottom. (My fiancee's Corolla has a mechanical adjustment. You'd think they could put one in the Prius.) I've added an Obus Forme seat, and that's helped make it acceptable even on long trips. I made a 2000 mile RT to Hybridfest in Madison, WI last July, and it was no problem as long as I stopped to stretch my legs every couple of hours.
I'm 6'4" and fit very well in my parent's new Prius. I was actually astonished about how open and spacious the "cockpit" is. I love how the dashboard is so small and "floats" above the floor without a center support. I feel much less cramped than in my gf's 2004 Corolla.

Something is wrong here?

That's a very good point. I am also 230 lbs but my inseam is 34". I had the seat as far back as it could go, so I suppose a longer inseam would present a problem.
I personally own a Camry Hybrid and was astonished to find that I could not properly reach the pedals/steering with the seat extended at max. This is the first car I've ever been in that I couldn't move the seat all the way back! You may have to consider a Camry Hybrid if you cannot fit comfortably in a Prius.

I have a 36' inseam.
Please don't ask for any other measurements.

I am 6'3" with a 34" inseam & I fit fine. I am a mbr of the Twin Cities Tall Club & I have had other mbrs of the club seat in the driver seat & they have not fit, but they all had longer inseams.
Those two extra inches probably make all the difference then.
I agree with Andrew: The Camry hybrid might be a more suitable ride, and likely a more comfortable one.
Don't worry about me asking for more. I would ask only with an expectation of having to reveal some in return, and that ain't happenin'!
