Did you actually drive one or put the seat back? I'm 6' and I had plenty of room in the CRX, and in any other Honda. The cars are very small, but they have plenty of space for big people.... surprisingly.

I had a 91 crx, I liek the 1g body but would never own one. In my crx im 6' 1" and if I slid the seat back there was NO way I could touch the pedals. I also had a 99 olds aurora and in that car I had to pop the steering wheel up to get in and my hair brushed the headliner. In my crx I had a good 4" of headroom at all times.. which was good because it was so low to the ground youd go out of the seat if you hit a manhole cover. Still loved my CRX and want another one soon.

What did you have the seat all the way forward? Cause I'm 6'5 and with the seat all the way back theres plenty of room.

I actually got into a wreck with my old 86 crx si. It had no bumper supports either. Long story short I got rear ended by some bitch playing with her cell phone doing 45 without applying the brakes. I was at a dead stop behind an f150. I escaped with no injury. Cant say much for the crx. I still love the 1st gens. Even after that wreck I now own another. My sixth one to date. Fun cars that are also great at the pump and can be made to be beastly autox machines.

Plenty of room in the hondas for big guys, i'm 6"1 and 280 and the interior space is great in the efs. I had a 91 ef sedan that i loved, have a 2002 si that has more room inside then my mustang.
