Answer 1

Someone with your height.........don't look at a car.

I would look at a mid-sized pickup or SUV.

Cars are not designed for big folks

Answer 2

Try a New Beetle on for size.

There are many owners, most of them guys, in our New Beetle club who are a similar size to you. You should check out the free online car forum where we all meet. These guys have mentioned many times that the interior of the New Beetle is very good for their needs.

I know it seems small(ish) on the outside, but the cabin space is resolved extremely well.  It also fits your MPG needs, I get 30MPG with my 2.0L manual.

Bonus: it's the kind of car that girls come up to you and compliment when they see you drive it :)

Answer 3

Holy c**p, I wish my boyfriend was that tall.

Answer 4

I know someone bigger than you who drives a Saab Turbo. I know another person the same size as you who drives a 96 Camaro. My dad went to school with someone who weighed almost 400 pounds, was over 7 foot and drove one of those 1980s Hondas. You'd be surprised at how some big people can fit into rather smallish cars. It really depends on if that 350 pounds is muscle of fat and if that 6'10" is legs or torso. No sub-compacts for you (darn, you can't drive a Yaris), but I would think most cars could fit you. I suggest you find a car or truck you like, then look somewhere like kbb.com and find the interior dimensions to get an estimate to see if you could fit.
