TL interior roominess? (tall guy here) - Acura Forum

Paladin-5 · 07-22-08, 09:24 PM

Hey all -

I'm a tall guy (around 6'5) and love the design of the 3rd gen TL. I have yet to own an Acura, but I've been looking to purchase a used one, possibly going to look at a couple '05s tomorrow.
From what I can tell it seems that the TL has a fairly generous interior, since I've yet to get in one, let alone drive one can anyone offer any advice from their experience?

Granted, 6'5 means most cars are a little tight, but some are better then others...
Also, I really really love the design of the TL

Well as a shorter guy 5'8"

I cant really give much advice in terms of driver but I do have a friend of mine who is 6'5" tall and he seems to have plenty of room in the passenger seat when we take my car....... I dont think you will have much of an issue, the TL is quite roomy. Good luck on your search.

Thank you sir, I appreciate hearing some confirmation on what I had hoped was true

I have a friend that's 6'6" and he was OK in the passenger seat, but he is a little heavy and found the seats to be tight. Although, he says he's comfortable driving his wife's Caddy DTS.

I'm 5'10" (190 lbs) and the TL is plenty roomy for me.

I am almost 6'2" and weigh in around 205 lbs. I find it very spacious and comfortable. But one thing about interiors...everyone has their own opinion and taste. Some like the seat up right - some like it WAYYY back. Know what I mean?

Im 6ft 1inch and 220 lbs, you should have no issues with the TL. I love it!

6'3" and 215.

No issue whatsoever. More room than most any car (even with the moonroof cutaway).
