well in my case that does not really help, I got 1 meter in just my legs alone, sitting in a car like that feels probably like sitting in a gyno chair, not that I could operate it even if I fold myself in (and my size 50 feet don't help either ). I tried a lot of smaller (sports-)cars on the IAA in Frankfurt, of the lot the last-gen MX-5 was barely big enough.
Yes. 202cm to be exact after getting up in the morning.
Regarding this topic here the VW Lupo still is a great car for tall people (more driver space than the current Audi A6), and if you need even more space try a Golf Plus. That's one car I don't need to adjust the seat as far back as possible.
I feel your pain, I am 195cm after getting up, and 194cm after evening, my E30 is designed to be comfortable for ~185cm (max) people, if you are taller you will struggle, not that there is no head or leg room, but you just don't feel comfortable, but after installing some mods if feel extremely comfortable
Yeah, it's possible to make a nice looking car out of it (imo). Tinted windows, small rear wing (the one that comes from factory, not too over-designed) and a nice set of rims. I've seen a few.
