 I just bought an Toyota Echo for this very reason. 6'1" 300 pounds and I
fit in it nicely. Not only that but I can still fit three other adults in
it. They did something with the height of that car cause the seats are up
much higher than usual. Most little cars I feel like I have to crawl out of
them. The echo I just step out. Lots of head room to spare and I LOVE the
off center speedometer. It is the best thing ever. No more hands or steering
wheel blocking my view. Also the 46 MPG is keeping me happy also. It may not
be as flash as an SUV but I find it to be a great buy.
