I really like the H3 and have test drove one about a month ago. I'm 6'3" and I noticed the steering wheel was a little close to my legs when I got in the vehicle.With adjustment of the seat ( power)i managed to drive fine but still thought the wheel was too close. I would like to hear from H3 owners who are 6+ foot tall. Any problems with adjusting seats/controls? Thoughts on headroom/legroom.
Thanks

I'm 6'2" and have had no problems. I work with a guy who is 6'6" and has no problems. My 6'6" kid drove it and had no problems.
Yes, the seat goes back, and if the wheel is fully lowered, you cannot get your knee up between the door and the wheel.

My friend weights 350 lbs and no problem. Plenty of room..

The seat was probably raised up.

I'm 6'5 with long legs, and I have enough room.
My knees come fairly close, but I can still fit my hands between the steering wheel and my legs.

I'm 6'2'' and it's comfortable for the most part. My suburban's seat was higher off the floor than the h3's is and was a little more comfortable for long hauls. The h3 is still pretty roomy up front though.

I'm 6'3" - I have a little problem with the clearence of my knees under the steering wheel when getting in, but its fine once I'm "aboard".

I have had a little problem with the left foot placement (see other threads) - seems the "dead pedal" angle is too upright for comfort imho?

6' even...perfect fit. "In like a glove"

RMST 12-07-2005 12:36 AM

6'2. No problems. I love the seats. Rate very high on the comfort scale.

PCBeach 12-07-2005 12:46 AM

6"2 without power seats. Very sturdy & comfortable seats.

bparker 12-07-2005 01:17 AM

6'2" here as well, and I fit fine..

6'2" as well and though I don't have the H3 seat time you guys do, I am impressed with the amount of leg room there is. One of only a few vehicles I have been in that I didn't wish the seat went back a little further.

HeimenHummer 12-07-2005 02:05 AM

6'2" and even the H2 gives me rug burn to the head. Not sure about the H3.

Trinity 12-07-2005 02:16 AM

6'3" 220 lbs. Yes, I noticed it was close as well, but once you learn how to jump in (I've got the 33 inch tires on the Offroad Suspension Package), it's not a problem.

gchurchill 12-07-2005 03:17 AM

yea im 6'5 as well. just put that seat way back! its still a hella more room than my corvette! my knees touch the dashboard with the seat all the way back in that!

Im 6-5 and have no problems ,,, BUT I have size 18 feet and thats a problem. The brake pedal is to close to the footfeed, My dealer said they have had some calls on this problem and there might be a fix on the way. OK So I had to take the rubber cover off the brake pad and hacksaw a 1/4 inch off the right side of the brake pad to get my big old foot to not hit the brake pedal, Dosnt look pretty but I have room now. The rubber pad will never fit back on again but I really dont care. Funny what a guy with big feet will do to cope... :-)

I had a 2 foot, peanut-eyed, cornbacked brown snake last week. It made me ride slightly higher in my seat until I got rid of it.

Mike E 12-09-2005 10:30 PM

I'm 6'2", normal wieght, and have no problems. Actually, I have the seat up a little bit from the all the way back position. Plenty of room!
