If I were looking for a conveyance for the basketball team, I probably wouldn't be looking at a subcompact hatch. I'm 5' 10" and I fit quite comfortably in the back of the Fit. But if rear seat legroom is your number one purchase criterion, the Soul should be an easy choice.

How you fit in the back seat depends a lot on who sits in front of you. I could probably fit correctly in the back seat of a Fit if my mother occupied the seat in front of me, but if I first set the front seat so that I am comfortable and then try to sit behind it, then I couldn't fit in it. Try getting comfortable in the back seat of a Fit with a six-footer in front of you, that is the real test.
Yeah, which is why I said if you need to carry the basketball team around, the Soul should be an easy choice. Whaddaya want, a candy bar, too? In all my years of driving I have yet to sit behind myself in a moving vehicle - so for me, that's not a terribly meaningful criterion. And neither my wife nor my daughter are over 6'5" - so it's no bother for them, either.
Do me a favour - when you get your Versa or Soul or whatever - take a picture of you and all your 6'5" plus passengers inside the thing so we can see how very comfortably you all hold, mmmkay?
