Wow... I'm just under 6' and I'm only an inch or two below the roof. I have the seat lowered in the back as far as it will go, and it's positioned so that I can comfortably reach the pedals. I can't imagine how anyone much taller than me would be able to fit in the driver's seat!

I'm about 6 foot and have my seat all the way back. I have gotten used to it, but sometimes wish I could go further back. I guess I'm all legs. I would definitely sit in one and test drive it if you are any taller than 6 foot before you buy.

I'm just under 6 foot and I have my seat all the way back and the wheel as far up as it can go. I couldn't imagine how someone over 6 foot could fit in the driver seat. This reminds me, I sat in a Miata at a auto show once, and good lordy I could barely fit in the thing, I had the seat all the way back and everything, my head stuck just a few inches above the windsheild.

I'm 6'3" (190.5cm), but I found a way to fit in small cars.
I lean the seat way back. It's more comfortable for me to do it in the first place, but I'm also staring out the windsheild halfway up it.
Looks really bad when I'm not in the car... take your fist, set it on the corner of the back seat cushion and move/recline the seat to where it's touching your fist. That's where I sit!
If I put the seat straight up and down, I gotta tilt my head a bit so it's up in the sunroof area.
Now in the C4 Vettes, I don't fit. To recline the seat enough so I'm not all up in the targa top, I end up with my knees on the dash. To get enough leg room, I'm hitting my head on the rollbar looking thing.
In my brother's old 98 Mustang GT with leather, seat didn't move back far enough for me. Knees were all up in the dash... Sucked trying to use the clutch, but at least I had enough headroom.

6feet 3inches and I have the seat all the way back and the back rest slightly back as well. It maybe a tight fit for you but the only way to tell is if you sit in one and you decide if you can handle it.

I'm 6'-1" and all legs. I actually sit with the seat fairy close, as people can still sit in the back. My knees are pretty close to the dash, as I don't have to reach for the shifter, hence, having better control over the car.

Same here. I couldn't drive with the seat the whole way back. I'd hate to have to reach for the shifter each time.
