6'4" / 220lbs. With the seat all the way back and slightly reclined I fit in without too many problems. Only when my hair is really spikey do I have issues of my hair hitting the top. I've got the sunroof mainly because I wanted the heated leather seats.

LOL, same here... i have it jammed all the way up. Funny what you can get used to.

You can tell a tall RX-8 driver because we all permanently lean our heads to the right

Cloth seats save you headroom too (no motors).

At 6'2", I fit, but I just cannot find a comfortable medium between leg room and arm room. There's TONS of leg room, but when I use it, I have to really reach for the wheel.

And vice-versa: if I move close enough for my arms, my legs get somewhat cramped. But that's my normal position now... and put the wheel all the way up. It's comfortable, but if it just had a dang telescoping steering wheel it'd be perfect.
