Never done it but thought I could even at 6` 2" by lying diagonally. I also though about reclining the front seat fully and making a camp bed that lay over the top. Then I could have a full length bed.

I used to sleep in the back of my parents Volvo Estate though and would recomend you sleep with a window open and a good sleeping bag.

I can sprawl across the back of my car, ive lay there for about half an hour comfortably but never slept. im only 5'7" so im short enough to fit there comfortably.

You could try 'refresh' mode......but i don't know how comfortable it would actually be.

^ that does not look comfortable lol

best way would be put the front seats right forward and get them slanted forward so they work as pillows :D with the back flat would be more comfortable than the refresh mode by the looks of things..

Or eat you alive :P haha know what you mean, but if you leave the windows open just a crack (hint: dont try to do it with the drivers window it WILL drive you insane trying it) then there shouldnt be enough room for the evil little midges to get in...but enough to get fresh air in. better option really is to get a tent though
