I'm 6'3", 36" inside leg and legroom is fine, even with thick soled workboots. In normal footwear, it's even better.
Only thing, reaching for the (stock) shifter in gears 1, 3 & 5 is a little bit of a reach.
Regards....

I'm a little over 6'2" and I fit just fine... wish the steering wheel would telescope even just a little bit, but other than that it's a great fit.
Stop by the NW-CEG section and say hi, maybe we could help you find something locally...

I'm 6'2" and I don't have any complaints with my SVT. I guess I have a different seat position from everyone else; I like to be upright and nearly vertical, so my head NEARLY rubs the roof. I have headroom problems in LOTS of cars, especially 2 seater convertibles...  either my head hits the roof or I'm staring directly at the crossmember on top of the windshield. Oh well... Needless to say, I'm happy with the fit of the SVT. --JamesT

I'm 6'5 and have no trouble at all. Actually, it's one of the more comfortable cars I've drove.

6'5 guy here. SVT's have less headroom than non-moonroof Countours. I have to move my seat all the way back and recline it a bit to fit well, but the footroom is niiiiiice.

I went down to a dealership and found a 4 cylider to sit in. It is not as roomy as the Grand Prix, but it suits my purposes. I found the hardest part to be actually getting in and out of it. The front doors seem a little narrow.
