Well the reason I asked is because I sat in a M6 car and with the seat all the way back and leaned back my left leg was cramped as hell trying to get the clutch in and the stick hit my right knee while in 1st. I have pretty long legs for someone my size.
Yes i know i know I didnt get to drive it bc the lot was about to close and the guy gave me some type of BS. Plus he wanted 19k for a 99 WS6 with 58k miles on it.

I'm 6'5 260 and when i had my formula i would have to put the seat back all the way and tilt it up just a notch, but if it was a m6 i think i would have had trouble driving it, moving my knee around and all that.
All i can say is, get a corvette, its unbelievable how much room there is on the driver side, i fit perfect in my z06, the only thing is if i sit to straight up the hair on my head tickles the roof.

im 6'3" and about 175lbs and i fit perfect, and i love the feel. Sometimes i hit my knee on the steering wheel/dash but i just slide the seat all hte way back, and then get in, and motor it up abotu 1 inch to really get that cockpit feeling...on long over the road trips, seat back, a little lean, and cruise control

I'm 6'9", 285 and people think I'm crazy. Why do you have such a small car?? Sooner or later you get in the routine of ingress and egress, it only sucks when somebody parks close to you. I have an a4, so I cant comment on m6 room, but I've been on road trips with my car only facing regular roadtrip wear. Just like you 5 footers, I feel right at home. Makes people take another look when they see me get out of my car

woo for being 5'9 and 160 lbs (damn muscle weight..). I fit in pretty much any car. My M6 is pretty comfortable, I just sit close because I don't like overextending my clutch foot.

Funny how guys that are 5'11" and 6' think they are tall. lol If they only knew.
As long as you are not in the passenger or back seat of an F-body you will be fine. Put the seat all the way back and tilt it slightly and you'll be fine.

6'7 265 lbs with a TA M6
I can sit in it for long trips and rest my knees on the console when the CC is on. I move the seat all the way back and down and tilt the wheel all the way up. Only gripe is I can't watch the oil pressure, but I take a peek every now and than to make sure it is normal. Passenger seat is ok, only bitch about it is it is hard to get my hand down the side and recline the seat or change the cushions in the seat.
When my wife drives (5'4) I can actually sit behind her with my *** planted completely in the back seat and seatbelt on, only thing is I have to tilt my head.
If you want some room, get a Grand Prix, I go from the TA to the GTP and it feels weird sometimes.
