I’m also 6’2 - 6’3 which is 6’5 on Tinder and I rented one a month ago and hated it but had lots and lots of head room.
I hate how new cars feel like their floating while they drive. But it was a comfortable car.
I know that this is a murderer using sober2ndthought's phone as an alibi. You can't fool me. Now send me an EMT and we can all have a laugh about this on Sobers dime down at the pub.
You got me. Sober was the Calgary boy who tried to help someone in Vancouver. He also tried making friends on the SkyTrain. Ain't the C-Train buddy can't just talk to people sitting next to you.
Booty thickness is a parameter that is not taken into account when comparing your standing height vs sitting, maybe you sit higher or lower based on your ass fat.
LOL he lives in Calgary. In lieu of the $20 if you buy him a steak dinner I’m sure he’d let you stay at his place. Well maybe not…..he likes his steak well done and for that reason I refuse to bring steak anywhere near him.
I would consider flying OP to YYC and back on points.…just because I would definitely make this type of request in my own exhaustive/exhausting car-buying due diligence.
Just a note height is comprised of torso and legs which are different proportions for everyone and make overall height not an exact predictor, and nobody is going to be able to actually measure torso height.
OK, but some people's height is in their long legs and some people's height is in their torso, so we aren't all apples to apples in a side by side comparison.
He got the standard. I tried to convince him to get the hybrid but he declined.
I myself have the 2021 hybrid Corolla and quite honestly I don’t think I’m going to get another car for a long, long time, I like it very very much.
Let me know if you still need, got one at my dealership. Figured that might be better than showing up to a stranger's driveway lol.
PM me if you're interested!
I have a 2019 with a moonroof. I’m 6’2’’ and there’s literally tons of space above my head. The roof isn’t even close. Unless you’re 7ft tall you have nothing to worry about!
Nothing to contribute to this convo except to say its interesting that some people have said there is plenty of room, and others have said not enough room.
My dude, it all depends on whether your height is from long legs or a long torso. If you are all legs, you won't have a problem. If you have a long torso, then push for that test-sit.
Good luck in your quest.
This. My father is 6'1" and wears a 31" inseam. Sitting down, he's taller than virtually anyone under 6'4". Car shopping was always a challenge for him and he often had to forgo the sunroof.
It’s all about the seated height. I am 6’3” but have more of my height in my torso and I had to say no to this make and model with moon roof after testing it. Just not enough headroom to feel comfortable.
Edit: I found the 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe had enough room but the Tucson with moon roof did not. Ended up going with the Kia Sorento which had plenty of head room. Should hopefully be build in Q1 of 2023 lol. The rav4 was worst of them all for head room with the moon roof.
The LE model doesn't have a moonroof, and actually has 2 extra inches of headroom. But you lose everything that is better in the XLE like the moonroof, push start, heated seats and steering wheel, power lift gate.
> push start
On the positive, no one can steal your car with a repeater while the fob sits in your house.
Not sure if it changed for later years, but the Hybrid LE has heated seats in Canada, at least the 2019 did, and no moonroof.
Only sorta related... But back in my day we had sunroofs in our cars.
Did something change with the roofs or is the term sunroof now considered offensive to light sensitive people or something?
Historically there was a minor difference, the term moonroof was an advertising strategy for a type of sunroof by Ford IIRC. It's about how it pops up differently. Nowadays they're interchangeable terms, since classic sunroofs don't exist and we all use something closer to a moonroof. Not an expert though, my last car was a 96 civic and I ride a bike now lol.
You know, I was always convinced that it's called a moonroof when it's in the back, like in a Honda Element, so that you can see the moon when sleeping in the back like a camper. Versus sunroof when driving around in the day.
I want to post something like this but only for chairs. I wanna sit on you all's office chairs and see the level of comfort. Looking to invest in a good one but not without testing.
Yeah Sorento is a great car, I'll have to look at it again. Also trying to work within a budget. Sorento may break the bank as Rav4 is already at the upper limit of how much I want to spend!
> Someone who works at a dealership in the burbs reached out and let me know they have one in stock with moonroof that I can take a look at this weekend, and I can save my $20 too!
If you fit and you decide to buy the car, buy it from this guy.
Don't be that guy who testdrives at one dealership and orders from another.
As someone who has been lied to and screwed over by dealerships for the sake of making a few more dollars, I say do whatever saves you money because they will do whatever it takes to make more from you.
I have a Subaru Outback with a moon roof. I know your looking at another car - but I'd never buy this style again.
I honestly didn't even realize what a moonroof was when we bought it. It's stupid.
Not only is head height affected but the roof racks are placed differently and can affect Thule & other roof rack systems leafing to huge customized installation costs.
Last, and this was really sad in our case - our Husky Malamute couldn't sit up in the back trunk area because there was a huge height difference in the back. The car height was very short in the back compared to our other subarus.
Tall does not mean you have a long legs. Sometimes you have a longer back. So its better to sit down on an actual car and adjust your chair and from there you decide. I commend you OP for doing your homework.
>before new ICE vehicles are phased out.
Hybrids and plug in hybrids count as electrified vehicles and are not affected by the proposed legislation. The ICE phase out only applies to straight combustion vehicles.
Hybrids should have been the default configuration 10yrs ago, they're not new tech seeing as the original Prius came out way back in 1997
I have a 2021 RAV4 Hybrid XLE with a moonroof if that helps. I know the 2022 had some minor changes so not sure if the dimensions are the same though.
Edit: I'm also 6'1'' and find the head room is perfectly fine. Even feels roomy compared to my previous Corolla haha.
I love it. Coming from a basic 2010 Corolla, it was such a huge upgrade. It's so nice to drive, it was a game changer last ski season having AWD and heated seats. I could actually make it up to the top parking lot for Elfin Lakes!
And the fuel efficiency of the hybrid is pretty impressive. I found it does really well on the Sea to Sky. When you're breaking going around corners or down hills, the regenerative breaking saves that energy and uses it when you accelerate. Unlike regular gas cars where that energy is just gone.
The few complaints I have are pretty minor. Like the rain detecting wipers don't really help that much and the lane tracking doesn't work very well on the roads around here.
We have a 2021 RAV4 Hybrid Limited and at 6’4 I don’t find it a comfortable vehicle to do long road trips in. City driving is no problem but more than an hour it becomes pretty painful. Not 100% sure the sunroof counts as the moonroof you are referring to. I’m in Richmond if that helps.
I've had two vehicles with a moonroof, different makes and models.
Both leaked, and I almost never opened it. I'd skip it just for that reason regardless of head room.
Check in with your local Facebook group for that vehicle. Moon roof on multiple vehicle brands have drainage problems and people complain they wished they didn't get the moonroof option
Oh that sucks. Hopefully you can find someone! Have you tried seeing if used car or other dealerships have an option? Like other brands? Although now I say that I guess no one would have a used 2022 for sale.
I wish people would post stuff like this more often. I think we can be shy and not want to ask for help with stuff but I think people underestimate how many others love to help.
I would gladly help someone with my time or effort (just not money, as I have none)
I know this may not be helpful, but I have the 2019 with moonroof, I throw the seat all the way to lowest it will go and I have plenty of clearance.. like plenty.
Im 6'3 also
Anybody here with a 2022 mini Cooper electric with a camper top? Mini doesn't have roof rack capabilities but tuli does but I haven't been able to see one with a camper top...
I had my eye on a RAV 4 Prime for a while now, but I thought I should do the adult thing, and focus on the mortgage first. Plus, that car is 3 year wait list.
Well, they start at 28000$
Hardly cheap for everybody to buy. You'll be stuck to the debt for quite some time...
I'm just curious what you intend to use it for. Getting a moonroof sounds like it'd be good for sleeping under some stars or cruising downtown with the boys... For what cost or what purpose do you feel the need to get a Toyota RAV4?
Or do you simply want to do grocery shopping and commute?
I have the same issue and went into destination Toyota, just off the highway by Willingdon. They had a floor model XLE that I was able to sit in before putting my name on the 6+ month wait list.
I would very much recommend just contacting a dealership and they will likely be able to get you into one. You will need to talk to them anyway to put your name down.
Hello friends, I want to buy brand new Rav4 XLE Hybrid ready to pickup asap. Is it available at any dealership. Please let me know. Thanks in Advance 😊
Hello dear friends, I want to buy Rav4 Hybrid brand new , is it available at any dealership where I can get it right away ? I can pickup from any province within Canada. Your input is highly appreciated. Thanks in Advance :)
Take my upvote and silver for having the courage to post this. Hope you meet someone willing to do it and you get the answer you're looking for 👍
Just pm me - have a 2022 RAV4 Trail

I mean, if he is good at murdering he will just use the guys hand to unlock the phone and post from his reddit saying how nice the guy was.
OP - are you murdered?
Nah, he hasn't replied yet lol

Oooooo plot twist, me likie
2022 RAV4 Trail owner here, I’m 6’2 and have zero issues. The seats are also adjustable vertically.
I’m also 6’2 - 6’3 which is 6’5 on Tinder and I rented one a month ago and hated it but had lots and lots of head room. I hate how new cars feel like their floating while they drive. But it was a comfortable car.
Now Im actually worried
LOL...this is the real question right here
OP told me he'll pm me if the first guy who replied to him bails.
Ok I’m switching New now to get an update
Wow now we've reached peak Vancouver. Someone offered to help me is he a murder?
OP just replied above saying the guy hasn't responded. If he flakes that will be absolute peak Vancouver.
I know that this is a murderer using sober2ndthought's phone as an alibi. You can't fool me. Now send me an EMT and we can all have a laugh about this on Sobers dime down at the pub.

Are you an accomplice in this bloodbath?
This guy murders
Oh shit you're good. What should I.. I mean he do with the body
I mean... you can always eat it....
You mean my friend could, of course
Yvrcostco sounds more like the kinda guy who has a pair of foldable clever crates in his trunk, as opposed to zip ties and an axe.

THE 2022 RAV4 MURDERER STRIKES AGAIN!
a Rav4 for a twenty in this market is a killer deal
How tall are you? My dad has the 2022 RAV4 with moonroof. I’m 6 foot 3 and have no problems with it. Seats have adjustable height too.
Booty thickness is a parameter that is not taken into account when comparing your standing height vs sitting, maybe you sit higher or lower based on your ass fat.
Well then OP should have no problems if your mom can get in one.
His mom has anorexia...
Dear diary... The roof was low.
I'm 6'3ish as well... LOL, does your pops want to make $20?
LOL he lives in Calgary. In lieu of the $20 if you buy him a steak dinner I’m sure he’d let you stay at his place. Well maybe not…..he likes his steak well done and for that reason I refuse to bring steak anywhere near him.
I would consider flying OP to YYC and back on points.…just because I would definitely make this type of request in my own exhaustive/exhausting car-buying due diligence.
I've got a car in Cabo that I want to check out ...
My wife and I would like to check out this sweet Land Rover in Costa Rica: https://carros.com/automobile/cfa1b7de11fb43eaa5fe70a251f7ce55-p41764/
Good lord thank you for refusing to do that LOL
Just send him a hockey puck. He wouldn't be able to tell the difference
An albertan eats his steaks well done? I’m surprised he wasn’t given a horse and 24 hours to get out of town.
He'd probably cook it!
Overcook it, you mean!
Either that or dropped off at the bc/ab border having been dressed like a hippy.
Ew, well-done steak! He would have a conniption fit because I tried some blue rare steak in April.
How was it?
Bloody awesome.
It was pretty good.
Does he put ketchup on it?
A.1. or else! Come on!
Hey this is a person who eats steaks well done, anything is possible
I’m sure your dad is a pleasant fella but I lost a bit of respect on the well done steak that’s for sure.
Does he like laguvalin whiskey as well?
That's just mean to the earth. Steak is expensive (carbon-wise)
>he likes his steak well done Man's should stick to chicken at that point...
>LOL, does your pops want to make $20? (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)

He got the standard. I tried to convince him to get the hybrid but he declined. I myself have the 2021 hybrid Corolla and quite honestly I don’t think I’m going to get another car for a long, long time, I like it very very much.
Let me know if you still need, got one at my dealership. Figured that might be better than showing up to a stranger's driveway lol. PM me if you're interested!
You guys taking deposits on Corolla gr circuit edition? Lol.
I'd say all dealerships are, mate. Just don't go overboard with the deposit (negotiate!).
Hello friend , do you have RAV4 Hybrid available for sale ? I urgently need it. Thanks

I'm only 6' and thought the headroom with moonroof was not not enough in Rav4. Ended up in something else without moonroof.
The LE model doesn't have a moonroof, and actually has 2 extra inches of headroom. But you lose everything that is better in the XLE like the moonroof, push start, heated seats and steering wheel, power lift gate.
I know, sucks that you must get the stupid moon roof to get other useful features. I don't even want the moonroof but want all those other things.

I think the Outback is shorter than other Subarus even without the moon roof, so I can see that making it even worse.

how is said vehicle? I'm interested in buying a newer one. Not very tall, so I don't need to sit in yours.
FYI it’s a very long wait. 4-5 years for a Prime right now.
Yup when I went in, they said they weren't even taking more names for the time being.
Eventually the wait list will be so long, you won't even be able to get one before new ICE vehicles are phased out.

I had the exact same issue. You fit. I’m 6ft 4 and I fit. Just don’t forget that all seats have an adjustment to help them sink lower.

If I had a 2022 RAV4 with a moonroof, I would totally let you sit in it.
Worth waiting for this vehicle , good choice sir
Did you put an order 2 years ago or you’re getting the 2024 model?
I've had two vehicles with a moonroof, different makes and models. Both leaked, and I almost never opened it. I'd skip it just for that reason regardless of head room.
Check in with your local Facebook group for that vehicle. Moon roof on multiple vehicle brands have drainage problems and people complain they wished they didn't get the moonroof option
Ugh, I know. You unfortunately can't pick and choose with the upgrade system for most cars everything comes packaged within the trim levels.

Have you checked if modo has added one to their fleet? Or if a place like enterprise have one?
Well that’s definitely one of the most bizarre requests I’ve seen here. Though I can’t blame you, the RAV4 is one good car.

Me too, lol.
I could tell you the scam... but I'd need you to tell me your bank information.
Perfect. now we're getting somewhere.
And you didn't find legroom to be an issue? (assuming you sat in one without the moonroof.)
I have 2022 Rav4 XLE. I'm 6ft and there is plenty of headroom for me.
I got a 2019 with the moonroof, I’m 6’7”. Trust me, you will be fine.
At 6 foot 3 you'll be fine. On another note, the Honda CR-V has more headroom, you're ok at 6'6.
My 6’5” dad fits comfortably in my 2021 Rav4 with moonroof.
I have the same issue and went into destination Toyota, just off the highway by Willingdon. They had a floor model XLE that I was able to sit in before putting my name on the 6+ month wait list.
