I'm 6-1, but all my height is in my upper body. With the seat almost fully back and reclined so the seat hits the bulkhead, I have <1" headroom. And to exacerbate the situation, I am somewhat broad of beam, so the left driver's bolster is taking a beating.

But once in I'm quite comfortable. But if I gain 10 pounds, I am truely hosed. And come winter I know I will not be able to get comfortable with my lined leather coat on. But that's what the heater is for.

I'm 5'11", but I found that I can barely fit in comfortably.

6'0", and about 165 lbs. No issues until my other half drives the car and leaves the wheel out and the seat up and forward, makes me miss memory seats that are activated from the key fob. Lol. Great fit on long trips, 12 hours plus, no issues, but almost all of my height is in my legs.

Oh does it have a memory seat position for each key fob?

6'1" and I fit fine. Tried on a Saturn Sky this past Monday and it was a no go. The dealer himself said best between 5'7" and 5'10". He said I wouldn't fit and I didn't even come close. Wasn't thinking of buying one but I had an offer to take one for a test drive for a free gift card. Got there and they were more than willing to fill out the paperwork for the gift card but would require a deposit on a sale to take the car out for a drive. I said thanks but no thanks and proceeded to give the apologetic salesman a tour of my XF. I think he was ready to buy when I was done. Couldn't believe how much nicer my "Mercedes" was than the Saturn. This was a seasoned salesman not some pimply kid.

Seat is not all the way back and it is not lowered to the floor. (fit with room for future adjustment).

I feel your pain!

It's amazing how strong the motors are in the "recline" adjustment of the seat. Can you feel them "bending" the back of the car too?

I'm 5' 8" inches and I feel like I could play football in the crossfire with all the extra room. My head doesn't even go above the seat.

I'm 5'2" and I feel the car was made just for me. The vette was too big, so it was a crossfire or a 911. The crossfire is just as fast and was 50k cheaper. My back feels for you tall guys.
