Im about 6 foot, don't really have too many issues fitting in. The seats are fairly low, and go back quite a bit so its better than some cars. Im sure someone would be happy to let you have a sit in their car. Worst case make sure its a t top :)

Yeah t-top would help a good deal. I've had a 6'2ish friend in the car before and he was fine, mine is an aw11 though...

Im 6'1 and dont have any problems with head room or leg room. The Sdubs have surprisingly a decent amount of room given how small they are

My mate is 6'6 and rode passenger with me; his head was hitting the targa panel cover forcing him to tilt his head on the side. Like the other suggestions, I would just test sit in one.

My only suggestion would be to get a GT or a G-Limited, these model SW20's have the telescopic steering column.

6'5" is probably pushing it as far as genuine comfortable-ness goes, but you never know. depends where the height is.
simply fitting a lower seat should do the trick anyway.. :)

I'm 6' 3" and no probs in a SW20, a T-bar should give you an extra inch but as people say, plenty of options including seats/seat spacers. And driving position will also be a big factor, telescopic steering rack will also help. Is it true only imports got these???
Used to drive a sunroofed AW11 too, but probably still have the crooked neck to prove it. Where there's a will there's a way.

Get a Spyder, I'm 6'4" and over 120KG and fit easily, and it's better than a T top, it can have no top.....lol
