Re: any tall 'eg' hatch drivers? (thebense)
those 6'5+ drivers looks like they are sitting in the rear seat to drive.

im only 5'8 160 with sol seats and i look like a midget driving.

Re: (EG TYPE-R)
Hows the fit? lol.
My old cx was at the shop one day and a customer thats 6' 8" hopped in and with the seat all the way back fit like a glove. Now the car was pretty much an all-autox car and had an aftermarket seat installed that was capable of going waaaaay back.
Something to consider.

Re: (95dxhatch)
I'm just over 6' & I feel tall in it b/c it's got EM seats in it that make my freaking knees hit the steering wheel or dash depending on how I sit. My only option is to slouch/lean

i'm also 200lbs, pretty beefy cuz i used to lift alot for football. ppl always wonder why i drive such a small car for a guy my size. i just tell 'em that i don't have anything to make up for

Re: any tall 'eg' hatch drivers? (thebense)
I'm about 6'5" and I feel more comfortable in my hatch than I did in the car I owned before. THat being a a 4 door Eagle Premier. Most of my friends make fun of me about looking like a giant sitting in it, but being bigger than them, I just kick their *** if they keep giving me ****. I also have the stock seats, but as soon as I find a nice set of Del Sol seats around Chicago, it will be a little bit better for me.

It's not how you stand by your car....
Del Sol seats will make you sit lower. Hell, you can see my shoulders and head from the side of my car with my Sols in it and I'm 5'11".

buy a hatch without a sunroof.
my head hits the ceiling cuz i don't drive james bond style (gangsta lean)
EDIT: oops you bought already.
teh civic can nevah lose! </TD></TR></TABLE>
I just sold my EH3, but I still had enough room with the moonroof and being 6'6". And I never leaned the seat back 'cause I like sitting up-right. But my EH2 does have a bit more headroom. The hatches actually do have a lot of room in my opinion. At least way more room than my LS.
