I am 6'1" and fit fine, although I can't see stoplights either. I put three washers under the two front bolts between the seat rail and the floor that helped the seat angle.

6'3" mostly legs. I fit fine. Do these things for an even better fit:

Side mirror mod in FAQs
Remove hooks behind seats
Force Seatback one more notch after hook removal (it may need a push.
Remove useless visors (they take up space when up, and are too low when down, anyway.)

Even without these things, it really is OK. The hardest thing is developing an entry/exit technique (which, at 6'3" I'm sure you are familiar with).

6'2, 33" inseam, fit fine with a couple quibbles: I find the fixed steering wheel position to be a bit low, which can impede heel-toeing but is otherwise okay; and, as others mentioned, I can't see overhead stoplights without craning or crouching. (Around here luckily there are usually duplicate lights on the curbs at intersections.)

Other "big guys" have discovered that positioning the seat forward a couple notches and then reclining the seat back allows them a more comfortable fit.

Seems 6' 3" is about the top (you should parden the pun) here...My son is 6' 7" and while he does fit on the passenger side (top up and down), he can't even close the driver's door!

6'-1", I sit taller in the seat than most. When I first saw the car at the dealer, I figured the decision not to buy it would be easy since there was no way I'd fit... I had knee surgery two weeks before, so I sat down first and rotated to get my legs under the steering wheel... It fit like a glove! Plenty of head room (more than my '88 Integra) and leg room.

Sure you'll have to get used to leaning over to see the traffic lights along with the idea that your head will save the integrated roll bars if you flip the car, But once you punch the red start button and fishtail out of the dealer's lot, you'll never want to get out of the stook!

I'm only six feet tall but I have a size 14 shoe. You would be surprised how many cars I couldn't drive due to my big feet. I think I would have purchased the TT if I didn't keep mashing the break and clutch at the same time. What a shame that would have been.

The stook's peddle placement is great and I don't have any problems, even with my oversied Doc's.
