My boyfriend is 6'6. Has a Ferrari F430 Spider and Audi R8. Just sold his Aston Martin Vantage Volante and Bentley Flying Spur. Drives my Lotus Elise just fine too. It's definitely worth driving the car your are considering prior to purchase as torso length to leg length proportions make a difference.

How the heck can he fit in your Elise?! I'm 5'11" and it's a tight fit for me!

I wasn't even talking about head room. I didn't think it was possible to fit ones knees under the steering wheel if you were over 6 ft.

Fair enough; I'm ~5'8" and I have problems fitting my knees under the steering wheel on a Miata. It is both difficult and painful to heel-and-toe in those conditions.

When i was 6'5 it was a challenge (for me at least) to ride in the cgt. Now being 6'9 i have a feeling it would be impossible.
