I can't remember where but I remember reading or hearing a comment about a 6 footer having room to wear a tophat in our cars. Best part is that it isn't even an exaggeration. At 5'5" (so long as the moon's gravity gives me a little tug) I feel like I could damned near stand in it if the seat was out!

One of the things I thought was cool when I first bought a Festiva was I could reach across and touch the passenger side door from the drivers seat which is great for me because I am short and don't have a far reach.'90 LXComment

The driver can not only touch the pax side door, but he can roll down the pax side window while also rolling down his own!

I rather like the thought of driving around in the ancient precursor to the TARDIS.

We are still waiting on Mohawk pics! :pOriginally posted by Zanzer View PostGood one! I'll have to remember that! Much better than when I tell people "my car makes gas" LOL
Everyone laughed at mine until gas hit $3.50. Now they all want to buy it 
I have 7 at my shop and I've had 2 people stop this week wanting to buy one. I typically get about 1 person a week who stops in looking for one

Dean and Sam used to get a lot of looks driving around in a Festiva. Both big guys over 6 foot. Never had a problem with space even when I was along.1992 Green GL - "It's not easy being green" - Kermit - RIP killed by a tree

I whole heartily agree. Most newer vehicles have a "cockpit" feel to them and make me claustrophobic. I've been in a few new vehicles where I can't sit comfortably for a few minutes, let alone a trip. I'm also a little on the large size 6'2", 250 and enjoy the interior space of the Festiva.Originally posted by Safety Guy View PostMost don't have the kind of room I enjoy in my Festiva because they are crammed with consoles, armrests, etc., ..... Not much room to me!
Festivas are small on the outside, but roomy enough on the inside, and the simplicity keeps that room REAL!

There's more headroom in my Festy than in any other car I've ever driven, save for a late 90's s-10 that had about the same amount.
I can feel my hairs touch the roof in the Grand Prix occasionally where as the festy, I've got 5+ inchesBuck.
