Forums > Tall Life > Transport for tall guys
For the tall gus out there, a couple of questions about transport.
What kind of vehicle do you drive? Indeed, are you able to drive, or does your height make it impossible?
Also, do you have problems with trains/busses/planes due to being too tall?
I’m guessing boats are generally OK for people regardless of height.
I drive a good size 4-door sedan, specially ordered to come without a sunroof. The sunroof robs headroom and (if equipped) would make me bump my head on the roof. This car also has a lot of room in the footwells.
Sure, planes (in coach) are pretty cramped.
Yes, boats (open) are fine!
I like my Pontiac Torrent. I am not super-tall, but there is lots of head room, even with the sunroof.
As for other transportation, I travelled a lot in coach and never found it to bad. Just had to sit up straight. LOL
I drive a Toyota Camry, and it fits me great. I like big cars, just need to take my shoes off when I drive, or else make sure that I don’t mix the brake and accelerate together.
I can answer for tall people and super huge a like. You want leg room to where a 7ft person can hardly touch the pedals, say this with me “Volvo” the best one for me was a Volvo S70. It had power and room and that rocked. I also liked Caprices when you could find them back in the day, again a powerful rolling couch that did not scrimp on the leg room. Seeing a 6ft5+ guy in a car made for a bloke a foot less sucks.

I’ve heard a seven-footer can fit in a Smart.
I don’t see 7-footers drive Ferrari.
If you are 7ft or taller and you drive Ferrari, or you see 7-footers drive Ferrari, please comment.
i see it said guys, but whatever im a tall girl SO, im driving a mazda 1.4 dunno the make ect exactly as its a new learner car, havent memorised the specs yet, i hate flying, well actually i love it except for the long haul flights and then its utter hell, oki im only tallish compared to the 6f5 pluses, but the leg room is jus terrible, i was in tears by the end of the second half of the flight to australia from dubai cuz of the cramp, even tho it was still an isle seat. oh and all the cars ive driven ive had to make the seat as far back as possible but i will admit in 1 or 2 it was abit of a squeeze. ferrys and boats are cool cuz i can jus stand out on the deck and walk around and its chill, but yea flights are bull, they should allocate isle seats to taller passagers WITHOUT us having to flippin pay extra cuz thats jus soo unfair. Fat people yes but not us lol
Emergency exit seats are great, but getting upgraded to business class for free is FTW.
