I'm 6' 7". If you don't believe me ask Erick (Easy_E1) or Jeff (MazdaManiac), they've seen me in the flesh
I have to recline the seat, put it all the way back, steering wheel all the way up. I'm actually pretty well proportioned bewteen torso and leg lengths. I only have a 38" inseem.

it actually fits well for tall people. Its funny because i mini also fits for tall people. i wish the 8's steering wheels tilted up higher though. It would make life much easier. I loved the car too much to not get it!

Thanks for all the responses! It was great to see I'm not the tallest!
At 6'4" with a 34 inseam, that seems to be a perfect fit if my hair isn't out of control!
I may have helmet trouble when it comes to race time...

if you would have size 17s (which i have) i would recommend the puma speed cats. they are relatively cheap for a big shoe and they have a very small sole for driving. i use these everyday. 18s are pretty damn big, but not 17s. 17s are hard to find but 18s are impossible. god i hope i dont get any bigger (i am only 16).

Im about 6' even and have no problems whatsoever being comfortable in my 8. Then again, I only weigh 130lbs, so I dont take up much space horizontally, but I do alright from top to bottom as well, no complaints.

6'7" drive it every day with the seat all the way back and slightly reclined. No complaints about headroom. I do feel cramped on longer drives. I drive to Madison, Wi from Champaign, Il about twice a month (approx 240 mi each way).

A 6' 9" person CAN fit, but it would be hella uncomfortable. Not to mention they couldn't fit in a sunroof-equipped 8, garranted, because I can't, and I'm 2" shorter. No helmet would fit on them, either, and headroom would be pretty slim, because if I hit a bump my noggin taps the ceiling.

I am not much of a Lincoln person.
