To be fair, I am 9 inches taller than you, so that sounds about right...

Just for kicks, how is the fit in the Accord vs. the LS? I'm actually pretty impressed that the Japanese accounted for people as tall as someone like you, since the average height for a man in Japan is 5'5" and for a woman is 5'0"!

Yes and your inseam is 35" which is only 3" longer then me so yes you're a torso long person lol. May i interest you in a Honda Fit? LOL My Fit has headroom galore, i have at least 6-8" of headroom to spare even seated nearly upright. I very well may think i can wear a 10 gallon hat while driving this car.

I have 0.5-1.0 inches more in the LS with the seat bottom all the way forward, sitting fairly straight up. I have an '06 accord with no sunroof. I don't fit in the ones with a sunroof - they're about 0.5" short.

I tried driving with the seats in the all the way down position but on long road trips it makes my butt and lower back hurt. I raised the seat like same height as my Honda Fit and i felt way better on the way back from vegas.
