Lifestyle tips

I drive an early 2000s Impala, and it is getting tantalizingly tight side to side. If was my weight, but a couple inches shorter, I would have to hold my flab out of the way to shut the door.

BMW 5 to 7 are quite spacious to all sides.

I’m just over 500 and over 6 foot tall. I drive a 2019 Kia Optima. Lots of room.

Skoda Octavia newer models are roomy if you got a big belly and being around 400lbs, 5ft 6in. Still space left even when the seat is not all the way back.The steering wheel is not all round eighter. it is flat at the bottom, giving even more space. Tested several cars including Kia Optima, Honda Accord, Volvo V90, Vw passat and some more roomy cars, but the Octavia was the best. Most of them have automatic transmission as well.

In only have a tiny bit of experience with this at just 270 but my Ford Ranger is getting to be a tight squeeze. My everyday driver is now a Subaru and much preferable to climbing out of a tiny 4 cylinder Civic. Although the emergency brake digs into my leg a little from dumb position on console that would otherwise be perfect.

Test drove a Ford escape, hard no before even leaving the lot. The console is raised up 2 inches beside the seat, and the window controls on door have no reason to stick out quite that far. Even well under 300 I felt squished and my hips jammed between... I'm not very bottom heavy.
I've heard that Fusions and most Honda are fairly roomy for sedans.

God, I forgot about this topic. Outgrowing clothes and chairs is one thing, but cars? Mmm.
My first car was a 2000 Blazer, and I probably wouldn't fit in it anymore.

or how about a Cadillac Escalade?

I’m not sure about the newer generations. I know I sat in an old first gen Escalade and had to move the seat up to touch the pedestal. I was impressed by that.

The GF drove my extended cab ranger well into the 400s, just had to put blocks on the pedals since she had to have the seat all the way back. We went to the junkyard and tested out a bunch of stuff. The tenth generation F150 (97-03) was the most roomy for her. She's now over 500 and still manages to fit, albeit with the same pedal trick from the danger ranger

GMC suv and crossovers are a favorite
