Big and Tall

[Godsmack720]

I’ve searched the forum and found questions about whether tall people have issues with comfort, but nothing about guys on the larger size. I’m 6’4”, 275lbs, solid frame/athletic build, not overly fat, long torso. I’ve test driven the vehicle a couple different times and once the seat was adjusted, my head will clear the roof. Seats hug the hips but doesn’t seem to be squeezing me into them.

My question applies specifically to the Si and directed to those bigger guys who have had a fair amount of seat time behind the wheel. How does the comfort level hold up? A short 10-15 minute test drive is much different than a few hours on a drive day in, day out as a daily driver. Please provide your experiences.

I own a new Si and I can say its comfortable. I am only 6'2" ~230lbs, I do have broader shoulders. Seat is very comfortable, however on longer trips the side bolster on the seat starts to become semi annoying. I've driven is on a mini road trip to Vegas, about ~300 and it was fine. The seats are fine for me given the car and I knew what I was getting into. My real only annoyance with the car in general is the rattles from the interior, particularly the one next to your ear where the seatbelt connects.

6'3 ~300lb, I am a bit wide in the hips so I do feel the seat bolsters. I don't find it uncomfortable. The back rest bolsters are just right IMO. I have not done anything longer than 5hr round trip in it. Like the other honda and acura cars I have owned the interior is roomy for the size car.

Having the same rattle issue in a 2022 EX. It’s only sometimes and it’s annoying. Can’t imagine how annoying it is on a road trip.
