I'm 6-4... but a thin 6-4. I fit fine (I could probably grow another inch). Weight is were people will have problems. (& you will need to install a smaller steering wheel).

This topic has been covered Many times. But you really should sit in one before buying. I'm 6'5" and realized I cant fit in a 7 with a sunroof, while people on the forum told me I would be fine

I sat in a sunroof model (6-4 again). The sunroof did stick down about an inch... but when the seat is put all the way back (like a tall guy would put it) your head is actually behind the sunroof, & at a spot that is 'normal' height. Its hard to explain, but the sunroof didn't seem to make much impact, so long as you sit with the seat all the way back. But definitley, find an owner on the forum that's close to you & sit in his/her car. Most member are more than happy to help.

^^ Well, I actually did fit, barely. But yes, that was with my seat ALL the way back, and the back rest all the way back almost. This made my head line up with the rear pillars. So basically I could Not see my blindspots when changing lanes. And I freakin' felt like terror squad leaning back all the way like that. non-sunroof models are night-and-day difference for me. So much more room!
