I really wanted to buy a Mazda, they're cheap, reliable, safe, and have nice features. But they literally don't sell one which has enough driver's legroom and headroom for tall people...
For example the Mazda6 has great legroom but bad headroom. The CX-5 has great headroom but bad legroom. The CX-3 has bad both.
If you need a vehicle with good headroom AND legroom you're almost required to buy a Subaru (Forester, Legacy, or Outback), Prius V, Toyota RAV4, or Nissan Rogue. It is pathetic how limited the choice is.
PS - You can see roominess metrics on Edmunds[0], just scroll down to interior measurements.

- busterarm 10y agoFord Flex should be in that list. Or the Transit (Connect), even if it's an oddball choice. I agree though. Luckily Toyotas and Subarus are a solid buy...well, with the subbies as long as you have no intention of modifying anything underhood (I swear that brand is the king of engine rebuilds).
- UnoriginalGuy 10y agoThe Ford Flex isn't available. They ran out of 2015 models and haven't got 2016s off of the production line yet. Great vehicle, but only when it exists. Not kidding, go the Ford Flex page and hit "search dealer inventory," put in your zip, and hit search. 0 results. The Transit Connect isn't appropriate for consumers, it hasn't passed any of IIHS's tests, has no safety ratings at all, and is considered a commercial vehicle. I'm not putting my kids into something with no safety data on it. But, yes, the list isn't exhaustive. I just wanted to make the point that Mazda in particular has slim pickings for tall drivers with long legs.
