dont think you'll have any problems mate, the seat does lower quite a bit.
what some of the taller members have done is remove the silver pipe part of the door handle to aid getting long legs in

haha.

i'm 6'3" /6'4" and im ok. I guess it depends how you drive. Im 21 and like to slouch back in the car and my seat will rub against the storage bin area.

I've still got about 4 inches before my hair touches the roof.

I bought the car in Newcastle and drove back to reading in it.

no aches/pains or anything after 5/6 hours (cant remember)
 
that being said I would prefer extra leg room if i could have it.

Give it a test drive and see for yourself.

I'm 6'2" and look stupid more because of my age than height. It's tight, but i greatly improved things by getting a smaller steering wheel and spacres so the wheel wasn't jammed on my knees

I look pretty stupid but not because of height (6'3'')  s;-) ;-) s;-)

My seat is at lowest setting and pushed/tilted back to be tight up against luggage bins - perfect

loads of headroom with roof up and none of that spam-in-the-wind you see with people driving Z3's!!

Now there's something you don't see every day   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  

I think the '2 suits the taller driver well - door skins are set very high relative to the seat base and the seat backs are comparatively long. Legroom is fine for a car of this size/ilk, so whether you're long in the legs or the trunk you'll be fine.

If anything its the shorter driver that gets lost behind those doors.

Of course not, I love you all.

Its simple physics. Or is it geography? Or is that changing the subject?  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  

Anyhoo, back on-topic......
