Really Tall Drivers!
I'm 6'6" with a 36" inseam and fit in My JCW HT (no sunroof) with no prob. Rear seats permanently folded down, however. My issue is room between the gas and brake pedals for size 14 feet. Can only wear certain narrower shoes to drive without wedging my feet between the pedals. Anyone with 14+ D size have a solution?

And I fit perfectly in the Paceman, with the sunroof. There's 1/2" between the rear of my seat and the rear seat so I'll just toss the backpack there. Couldn't be more excited for a vehicle I fit in! I used to drive a Dodge Dakota and didn't fit it as good. I couldn't drive a Nissan 350z/370z, but now I'm going to have to check out the Skyline (GTR)...
The key, I think, is not having a sunroof. Without that, there's a huge amount of headroom. I'm 6-4 and I fit just fine, my seat not all the way down and not all the way back. My son, 6-6, also fits. These cars are huge inside. Just one of the reasons I like them so much - there are many other reasons as well.
I'm 6'5", '05 MCS convertible and have to slide the seat all the way back and could use another inch or so leg room. I have plenty of headroom, not sure if the 'verts have more headroom than the hardtops. As others have said, foot room is very tight for size 13s while trying to brake and stir the gears. My foot kept catching the edge of the brake pedal when trying to mash the gas pedal so I removed the brake pedal and bent it about 1/8" to the left and my foot clears now. The tip of my right shoe would catch on the shield covering the heater plumbing so I trimmed the ribs off the back of the floor mat which lowered the mat enough to allow my shoe to clear the shield. When pressing the clutch, my toe rubs along the upper part of the pedal. The pedal apparently has a sharp edge and the toes of the soles of my shoes would get sliced up. An angle grinder solved that problem.
I'm 6'3...so 'average height' for this thread...and the first time I sat in a Countryman I instantly moved the seat all the way back, but when we pulled out of the lot for the test drive, I actually had to move the seat a few inches forward to get the proper feel on the pedals. What an awesome feeling to know there is room to grow!
6'6" tall and 300 pounds here. Perfectly comfortable in my 2010 Cooper S Hardtop with a sunroof. It is probably one of the most comfortable cars I have ever had. I don't even have to push my seat all the way back. I have size 15 shoes and have never had a problem with the pedals. People always think it's hilarious when they find out a guy of enthusiastic stature like me drives a MINI.
6'8" here, size 14 or 15 shoe.
People always get a chuckle when you unfold, but that's life!
I shave my head so I pick up a little room for the sunroof... otherwise its very comfy. Since its a Clubbie, I'm happy I don't have to move the front seats up to fold down the rear ones.

yes this is very true I have room to spare in my mini yet the in the 01 Cadillac de ville my seats all the way back. I fit fine in the caddy but no more "leg" room then my 66 beetle and I actually have more head room in the bug. btw im 6"2"

Same issue and I just keep a pair of Puma's for driving shoes. I'm 6'5 with a size 14 E foot. 36 inseam no issues driving. Can't wear my work shoes as driving shoes is my only thing I can't do.

I'm 6'3", 235lbs and also wear a size 14D. I buy almost exclusively Born Shoes and find their Marcus shoes work great http://www.zappos.com/born-marcus-sc...160203165218:s
Oh my God, I get asked that so much, and now I have the perfect answer. Thanks!
