I'm a mere 6'2 and I fit just fine even with a sunroof. I'm long in the torso, and I'd guess that at your height long legs would work great but a long torso would start to push the envelope on comfort. I find the limiting factor to be the fact that the steering wheel does not telescope--I'd drive with the seat farther back if it did.

Just drive one and you'll be sold.

Boots? I have trouble with a few stylish dress shoes that fit my size 12-wide feet properly.

I have clown-sized feet (13 and wide), so my only issue has been occasionally with the pedals if I wear my giant clodhopper boots. at a (mere) 6ft and 260 pounds, this is the first vehicle I have owned that I dont have to put the seat all the way back.

I have friends much taller (and some larger) than me that are amazed at the room when I tell them to try it out (rather than give me hell for supposedly cramming myself into 'such a tiny car').
