PT Cruisers are nothing but Neons.
nice body style, but old news now.
fix the seat and put a scoop on the Subaru.

Another vote to fix the seat.
I'm 6'4 and drive a Dakota with has plenty of legroom, but you didn't say you wanted a truck, so fix the seat.

I didn't know they came so well equipped!

Same height as you and I bypassed the Outback on my last purchase for the same concerns you express. It will be a while before I'm in the market again, but if there is a fix I 'd be interested in hearing about it.

Don't forget to put a coffee can on the tailpipe and bolt a huge spoiler on the back.

Who says this isn't an XT outback with der turbo already attached?
Fiddle with the outback!

Just get a Recaro aftermarket seat. It will transform the car.

The Outback is bigger than the Forester - but I think the Forester may be taller? The Forester XT - mmmm.
Get the Hyundai with the extended warranty (the standard 10yr powertrain is no longer transferable - handy if you have kids or someone else in the family that wants a hand-me-down, and bumper to bumper for only 5 years) and keep it 10 years. I personnaly would rather have the Sonata, than the Santa Fe.
The new Pontiac Torrent looks halfway decent.

I'm not a Nissan fan and I don't care for the looks of this car, but after driving one the other day, they sure are nice to drive.
Not even a little bit of a payment ?
