I'm 6'3 and 205 lbs with the GT Package (motorized seats) and moonroof. Unless you have really "pooofy" hair, you can recline the seats into a comfortable "racing" position and not have any problem with head/leg room. Good luck!

If you have a long torso and don't want to drive the car while reclined rather severely, you will have to opt for a car without a sunroof, period.

I'm 6'2" about 290 and have a GT with a sunroof. With seat bottomed out I have just enough headroom (short legs, long torso). The only problem I have is that over 6' the rearview mirror creates a significant blind spot, especially at 4 way stops, it almost totally blocks on the car on the right, but you learn to adjust for it and the car is worth making the adjustment, it really is a dream and there is lots more room than in a 350Z and don't even think of anything in BMW unless you want a constant bow in your neck.

6'4" ~185 lbs, and I fit just fine.
I am 6'4" ~6'6" with cowboy boots :-) and can sit in the car just fine...maybe my hair will rub against the ceiling if I have the seat straight up, but who ever drive like that....other then grandma. ANd for a 6'4" driving that goes for any car...except maybe for a buick.
I also am very comfortable in the back seat when a front seat is pulled just halfway forward. Mazda did a very very nice job on this car.

The one issue no one has taken into account is shoe size. With size 15's and at 6' tall (32" inseam), I'm pushing the seats in all cars back all the way or one stop before the end... However, I didn't have any major problems fitting in a GT 8 that I test drove. I just rubbed my head a little and bumped it on the "grab bar" in the passenger's seat. A sport package 8 should have plenty of room for you.
