it’s not very Fuck Cars, but you can find smaller cars that handle taller people in the front. I’m 5 11, Chevy cruise isn’t too bad. You really need to find stuff that has manual seats with height adjustment, they usually go a couple inches lower.
Also stay away from anything where the headliner has an indent on the drivers side to “make room” that already lets you know it was designed too small and made concessions.
I drive a volt (same as the cruise) and it does fine, my wife drives a monster 2010 Pilot whenver i’m in the thing, I wish it has a front facing camera so i could see what’s below the hood.
Also if just looking to get a lower and lighter car without necessarily wanting a shorter car, full-size sedans can fit people much taller than you or I. I could sleep in my Chrysler 300M when I had it because the seat could recline all the way back.
Currently I have an A6 Allroad (C6 generation, I like 'em well depreciated) and it fits me just fine. If we’re doing imperial units here, I’m 5’10 and 280 lbs. I could still move the seat much further back and lower the backrest further if I was taller or heavier. I have no trouble climbing from the driver’s seat to the passenger seat and back when I park myself into my small garage with the driver’s door blocked in due to doing some work on the other side of the car.
I guess what I was trying to say was: as much as I hate cars (and I hate cars a lot because I needed CPR and to be airlifted because of one), I more dislike getting into sedans because its painful to get in and out of one on a daily basis, especially as I’m getting older.
I will try out your point about full sized sedans.
