You should be fine. I'm 6'3", but only ~210 lbs and I have no problems whatsoever. Best thing to do would be go test drive one and find out for yourself.

I ain't gonna lie, you might be a tight squeeze. I'm 6'1" but only 160, and after driving for an hour or more, I feel like I'm unfolding out of it when I step out of my 4th gen. But if you live in a good sized city,(unlike me) and don't have to drive far to do stuff, it's great. As with you, I had to do a great deal of searching to find my Prelude. It's worth it though.

You should be good. I know a tall ass dude that owns one and he loves car. Granted you'll probably have the seat all the way back, and you'll be able to see over the hood pretty well.... but yeah. Go give one a test drive if you're not sure. Most used Honda salesmen are happy to take people out for a spin.

One other thing. Average to large adults were not meant to ride in the back of a Prelude, so you shouldn't even let people like that try it. Just a heads up...

You can fit someone in the back of a Prelude just fine as long as they're no taller than about 5'10". They sit sideways leaning against the right wall, with their feet out over the left seats. My buddy can chill like that just fine.

And if he can figure out how to buckle a seatbelt around him, it might almost be legal.

Good luck finding one. Sounds like you'll have a distinctive car.
