You will fit.
I am/was the same height as you but have the added complication of a severe disability in later life which makes getting in and out of my beuatiful AW11 S/C a bit tortuous, but once I am in its nice and cosy. One factor the other posters haven't mentioned because its a bit PC, but body mass will also make it easier or harder. If you are fit and trim then really no worries, but if you are considering going on The Biggest Loser as your next career move then there could be tears. I am about half way in between.
I have fitted the legally smallest steering wheel which has a flattened bottom on the rim and this makes it easier. Also, if the car is a "Limited" the seats will have a range of adjustments including the front swab. I turn mine down to get in and out. The seats are great actually and they hold you in position well.
The poster who mentioned looking at an SW20 also made a good suggestion. Even though the AW11 is taller than the later model, the SW20 has just that extra amount of interior room to make it much more comfortable for larger drivers. Shows what an influence the American market can have on model development. That, and supersizing at Macca's. :-) :-)
All the points made by the posters are good ones, but the best advice given is to try one out and see.
