I agree with the taller gentlemen that there is enough leg room in the H2 to accomodate the tallest of men. I am 6'8" and have been hoping to get my H2 as soon as i saw it as a concept vehicle. It is the first vehicle where I feel is "fit" into it. I have had a pathfinder and a durango; loved them both but i will probably only buy hummer from now on as long as they keep them within a decent price and not looking to freaky.

I am over 6-6, & 260 and I cannot relate. Is your inseam over 36"? I assume that you have tried all adjustments, but I find the H2 to be the most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven. I have the bottom cushion all the way down at the back and all of the way up at the front. Then the seat back is angled back. There is enough room left to change pants!

My problem is my seat won't move up far enough! Im 5'3" and 137 lbs, I have had trouble twice in a "panic stop" situation. What a crappy design .

Oh and BTW Craig, I agree DRTY is very, very insensitive, mean and unpleasant.

I'm glad someone brought this up because I'm 10 foot 11" and my knees hit the ceiling, operate the sun roof and block my side vision when I drive the 2003, so I got the 2004 and now have no problems.

I'm also 6' 1" and with the seat all the way back in the 2004 it's perfect. If the 2003 is actually 3" closer than 2004 (which I don't think's the case) it would definitely be a problem.

You can't swap for the 2004 seats? Or do you have a 2004 and it's still not enough?

Paragon-No, i sure wasnt. havent had the time or $$ to take any of the driving courses/adventures as of yet. Bills are starting to get caught up and I am hoping to join and keep up with the news of at least one of the H2 clubs around here.
N2- thats just an optical illusion that happened with the camera, i really only come up to the side mirror... yup, thats about all im good for, changing light bulbs and washing the top of cars. (not really mad) but it is amazing to me at how much different the world looks and how much i notice things up above others eyesight, which also leads to missing alot of things down low cause i dont feel like bending my big a** ova to c it!

please check my exhaust post, any remarks would be a help as I am looking to do this soon. can't wait to hear my roar! also, i'll be posting questions about installing a sub (or two) so keep and eye on it. Everyones help is welcomed and greatly appreciated! lata from Death Valley GEAUX TIGERS!

I'm 6'-4" 260 and I have plenty of room. I have a 34" inseam and I also have plenty of head room. Whoever said the H2 is the best riding vehicle they have ever owned, I totally agree.

I used to get the "float" at about 115, by 125 its gone and the down force over the car was doing wonders for handling. I never did find out how fast it would go. I had to many rough roads around lower Michigan. I did however get pulled over for 105 in 55 back in `87(I was slowing down to get off the highway), I just happend to look behind me and see the trooper about 1/2 mile back .

I don't thinks its a leg room problem more then its a sitting comfortable problem. when I test drove the first H2, I had no head room and was forced to slouch, it was very uncomfortable , and I oppted to lean the seat way back. I cured this problem by purchasing a new H2, without sunroof! now I have plenty of room, I do hit my knee from time to time on the shifter(in park).
I will say I cannot drive a Viper for a simular reason, I can get in, I can push the clutch in, but I cannot close the door and release the clutch... bummer. being 6'5"/350lbs sucks sometimes.
