Hey - just to let you know - I have a 2006 Prius - and I am 6'8" with size 16 feet. Yes it is a bit tight - but I do fit. Recline the seat a bit - gives you more head and some leg room. I have a long commute - about 65miles one way and I do it 5 days a week. So I've racked up about 60K miles since I got my Prius. Also have a few family trips >300 miles with three and four on board. Just had to let the small person sit behind me. Try again - see if it helps to recline.

I am 6'3 with a 35" inseam, I fit in the Prius, barley....Drove one about 1,000 miles for work, hit my knee on the shifter several times and felt like I was sitting really tall on the windshield. Take a look at the Honda Civic hybrid, more headroom, more legroom (in the front seat) and a different driving position.

6'1, 34-inch inseam. i test-drove both the prius and the hch, found the hch to be much more comfortable, although i still fit fine in the prius. for me, it came down to preference, and i preferred the fit i had in the hch.

I am 6'4'', 34 inseam and I also fit in my new Prius. Not as good as I would like but not as bad as some larger trucks or SUVs that are on the road. Some of them have the driver seat just to high, even when all away down, my head almost touch the ceiling and my eye level is way up there. I hear that in Europe the Prius has height adjustable seats, maybe Toyota should make them available in the USA.
