    i think you wont see a correlation of comfort verses height because you have left out key indicators...

    if you would like to make the poll several pages, you will need to add personal preferences and tolerance levels. my ex could have a $2000 barcalounger in the car and not be comfortable after 30 mins.

    and i am the same way. i was not designed to sit in one spot, no matter what the comfort level, for extended periods of time. i have done enough long distance driving in so many different vehicles that i know that the seat will only help a little. now others may be different, but as for me, i WILL BE stiff and sore after a few hours of sitting in the car.

    now the fact that you no longer have the advantage of 2-3 stops for gas a day makes it a "sacrifice" to drive my Prius...

    after all, cant be ALL positive...nothing is perfect

    The older I gets, the more my fleshies lose their, er, tone.

    The less tony, the more my bonesies dig into them under the pressure of gravity.

    In other words, my butt starts "going to sleep" after 100 miles now. Toyota has no antidote for this.

    :rolleyes:

    What Dave Says.

    A few interesting trends seem to emerge.

    Out of 95 responses, 78 are positive and 17 negative. That seems surprisingly high to me based on the complaint threads on here.

    It is good to be 5' 6" or shorter.

    There really dosen't seem to be a significant correlation to height.

    Thanks to everyone for participating.

    I am 6'6" and its okay , would not want to take a long trip in it but it saves me money everyday to work and about. I also have a Chevy pickup and it has as much head room as the truck, the Prius lacks in leg room, but its a small car and I knew that going in, My dealer let me keep it 3 days and drive it to make sure I wanted it. It was a great move and I love the little animal

    My only complaint with the Prius is the seats are just too hard. Back support is fine. My 10 year old Tercel has more comfortable seats. I can only hope that they will soften up over time. They do seem a little better than a year ago.
