Let me get this straight.

You're looking to spend > $25,000 on a depreciating asset, and
you aren't willing to drive fifty miles to see if it fits. You'd
rather trust the opinions of strangers on usenet. Is that about
right?

i'm 6'5" and civics fit me great. but /NOT/ if they have a sun/moon
roof. accommodating the mechanicals for that reduce the ceiling height
between 1" & 2". since all u.s. si's have those wretched things, you
may be "doomed" to a lesser model.

best option is to get an old civic, put an si motor in it, and still
have change for that world cruise. cheaper insurance too.

Why not just go to a dealership and try one on for size?

Seriously... how could anyone here possibly know how well you'd fit a
specific car? Even someone else who's 6'7" wouldn't necessarily be of
the same proportions of leg/upper-body/arm length.

Then how will you buy it if you're not willing to do a little leg work and
go to the dealer? Do they deliver?
